bathrobe Recall

A few days ago a family sued over a bathrobe fire death.

A family of an elderly woman who died after her chenille bathrobe caught on fire has filed a $30 million lawsuit against the retailer for wrongful death and product liability.

Blair recalled the products in April after it learned of three robes catching on fire. Six more reports of fire-related deaths linked to the robes have been made since then, prompting Blair to expand its recall this month to include chenille jackets and tops made by the same Pakistani manufacturer.
