Description
The five different styles of recalled robes are made with 90 percent cotton and 10 percent polyester fleece fabric. The robes contain the sewn-in label "HANRO of Switzerland." They were sold in colors white, blue, ivory, beige and gray, and in sizes XS through L.
Hazard
The robes fail to meet federal flammability standards for clothing and can ignite readily, presenting a serious risk of burn injuries. Fabrics that do not comply with the standard typically burn faster than newspaper.
Remedy
Stop using these robes immediately and return them to the store where purchased, for a refund and a $50 HANRO gift certificate.
Incidents and injuries
HANRO USA Inc. has received one report that a robe ignited when exposed to flame and burned the consumer's hair.
