Plain-English summary
The Edgewood Chenille Company is recalling thousands of highly flammable women's garments, including bathrobes, jackets, shorts, and tube tops. These items are made of 100 percent cotton chenille, a soft fabric with a high, fuzzy nap. The garments were sold nationwide since 1975 under the "Edgewood" and "Wrappers" labels in department stores and ladies' apparel stores.
Since December 1978, three women have been burned when their bathrobes caught fire. One woman suffered serious second- and third-degree burns covering 25 percent of her body. CPSC laboratory tests conducted since June 1979 found that 7 of 10 garments failed to pass the federal flammability standard for adult wearing apparel.
Women who own these garments should return them to their retailers to receive free replacement apparel that complies with the flammability standard. For additional information, consumers can contact the Edgewood Chenille Company at P.O. Box 14, Tunnel Hill, Georgia, 30755, or by telephone at (404) 935-3121.
