In most of the reported cases, the victims were women who were cooking when their robe caught on fire.
Acting CPSC Chairman Thomas Moore said consumers should report any incidents or injuries they experience with the robes and other products.
The robes, made in Pakistan, were sold in Blair catalogs, the company Web site, and Blair stores in Pennsylvania and Delaware from January 2003 through March 2009.
