What was recalled

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.

Injuries

HANRO USA Inc. has received one report that a robe ignited when exposed to flame and burned the consumer's hair.

Made in

Switzerland

Where it was sold

  • Department stores and boutiques nationwide sold these robes, from October 1998 through January 2000, for between $280 to $350.
