Today’s U.S. Recalled Products - Bath Robes And Candles

The Bon-Ton Department Stores Inc., of York, Pa. has recalled Girls and Boys Bath Robes and Gate Five Group LLC, d.b.a. Roost, of Sausalito, California have recalled Birch Bark Candles.

Bon-Ton have recalled about 1000 “Miss Attitude” girls bath robes with GPU #5500-K660504 (Solid purple with frog and rainbow appliqué) and GPU # 5500-K660474 (Pink Leopard print) and “URIT” boys bath robes with GPU # 5500-K660495 (Blue solid with sport appliqué) and GPU# 5500-K660496 (Green camouflage print). “URIT,” “Miss Attitude,” and the GPU# can be found in the tags sewn in the center back neck of the garment.

The recalled bath robes fail to meet the children’s sleepwear flammability standard, posing a risk of burn injuries to children if the robe caught fire. The Chinese made robes were sold at Bon-Ton, Bergner’s, Boston Store, Elder-Beerman, Herberger’s, Younkers, and Carson Pirie Scott stores nationwide and Parisian (Detroit area only) from September 2007 through October 2007 for between $25 and $40.

Gate Five Group have recalled 1200 Roost birch bark wrapped candles. The center of the candle is white and the sides are covered with brown birch bark. “Roost” and the item number can be found on the box. “Roost” can also be found on the warning label on the bottom of the candle. The candles were available through specialty retailers nationwide from September 2007 through October 2007 for between $20 and $80.

The bark wrapping of the candle can ignite when the candle burns down, posing a fire hazard. The firm has received three reports of the birch bark wrapping igniting as the candle burned down but no injuries or property damage have been reported.
