What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Plain-English summary

Christy, of Charlotte, N.C., is recalling about 8,600 women's wrap bathrobes with long sleeves and a belt. The recalled robes are made from 100 percent cotton terry cloth in aqua, ivory, white, and porcelain pink, and feature a woven label at the neck edge reading "Collection Fifty Nine." The company is the importer of record for these products, which were manufactured in Turkey.

The recall was initiated because the bathrobes fail to meet the federal flammability standard for clothing textiles. This non-compliance poses a risk of burn injury. Christy has received one report of a robe igniting, but no injuries have been reported.

The affected bathrobes were sold exclusively at Bloomingdale's department stores nationwide and at www.bloomingdales.com from January 2008 through March 2010 for about $80. Consumers should stop using the recalled bathrobes immediately and return them to the Domestics Department in any Bloomingdale's store for a full refund. If the store does not have a Domestics Department, the robe should be returned to the Customer Service Department. For additional information, consumers can contact Christy at (800) 261-6326 or visit www.bloomingdales.com.
