What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural defect (failure to meet flammability standards) and reports of significant injury, specifically second-degree burns, which aligns with the rubric criteria for a Severe rating.

Plain-English summary

Blair LLC is recalling approximately 162,000 Full Length Women's Chenille Robes due to a burn hazard. The recalled robes, which were sold from January 2003 through March 2009, fail to meet federal flammability requirements. The specific item numbers included in the recall are 3093111, 3093112, 3093113, 3093114, 3093115, and 3093116, which are identified on a label in the garment's neckline. The robes are one-piece garments made of plush sculpted chenille with a shaped stand collar and full-button front.

The hazard exists because the robes can catch fire if exposed to an open flame, presenting a risk of serious burns to consumers. Blair has received three reports of the robes catching on fire, including one report of second-degree burns.

The robes were sold at Blair catalogs, the Blair website, and Blair stores in Warren, Pa., Grove City, Pa., and Wilmington, Del., for prices ranging from about $20 to $40. Consumers should stop wearing the garment immediately and contact Blair LLC to return the robe for a refund or a $50 gift card for Blair merchandise.
