Flammable robes recalled

The Consumer Product Safety Commission and Blair LLC have issued a voluntary recall of 162,000 full length chenille robes.  This product was originally recalled in April, 2009 after reports of three robes catching fire, with one resulting in second degree burns.  After the recall was announced, the manufacturer learned of 6 additional fires, including five that resulted in wrongful death.  Five of the six victims were female, and all were cooking at the time.  Three of the burn victims were in their 80’s.
