October 22, 2009

Washington – The Consumer Product Safety Commission has recommended recall of of Blair’s highly flammable women’s chenille bath robes from Pakistan after nine deaths attributed to the use of the product were reported lately. The products were first recalled in April when there were three robe malfunction reported.

According to reports, the first three victims suffered second degree burns. Apparently, the product did not meet the Consumer Product Safety Commission standards. Most of the victims were 70 and 80 year olds.

A total of 300,000 pieces were recalled last April.
