Among the nine people who have died from injuries sustained after their chenille bath robes caught fire was 80-year-old Atwilda Brown. Now her family has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the company that sold (and twice recalled) the robes, Blair LLC.

Brown's daughter, Sharon Davis, said in a written statement this week that she hopes the lawsuit will help spread the word to women who still have the robes and aren't aware of the dangers.

"My mother suffered a horrible death and experienced excruciating pain. I would like to know why it took four long years to finally make an official recall take place and see Blair punished for violating federal product safety laws," she said.
