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.
