Death by Robe! Please Be Careful, Ladies.
After six deaths (yes, six!), Blair, a clothing and home retailer, reissued a recall of 162,000 Full-Length Chenille Bath Robes, according to the Los Angeles Times. As it turns out, the product doesn't meet federal flammability requirements. If exposed to an open flame, they can easily catch on fire! Five of the six deaths happened to women who were cooking.
Eek! So scary!
If you have one of these Blair chenille robes, please throw them in the trash. Or, you can return them to Blair for a $50 gift card. After this whole ordeal though, I'd just forego the refund. You never know.
And ladies, if you wear robes (or towels, for that matter) around the house, be super-careful around stoves, candles and other open flames. They might unravel and cause a fire. Opting for a fitted sweatsuit might not be such a bad idea.
