Product description
This recall involves all styles of pyjama sets (tops and bottoms), separate pyjama pants and nightgowns sold in boys and girls sizes 0-6X and 7-14. A garment label with the name "Papa Bear Loungeabouts" and a picture of a bear is sewn into the center back neckline on the outside of the garments. A hanging label features the same name and image.
The sleepwear is 100% cotton poplin or 100% cotton flannel and the different styles come in a variety of colours and the following novelty print designs: bling, cows, Scotty dogs, hotrods, basketball, sports, vintage, rodeo, rock and roll, ballerinas, popcorn and more.
Hazard identified
The recalled sleepwear does not meet the flammability requirements for children's sleepwear under Canadian law.
Children's sleepwear that is loose fitting or that has loose edges can contact ignition sources such as stove elements, candles, and matches more easily than tight-fitting sleepwear. Once ignited the sleepwear can burn rapidly and cause severe burns to large areas of the child's body, resulting in shock and sometimes death.
Health Canada has not received reports of incidents or injuries related to the use of the affected products.
For more information, see Health Canada's Children's Sleepwear Fact Sheet.
