Hazard identified

Health Canada’s sampling and evaluation program has determined that these products do not meet the flammability requirements for children’s sleepwear under Canadian law.

Loose-fitting children’s sleepwear can contact ignition sources (such as stove elements, candles, and matches) more readily than tight-fitting sleepwear and once ignited will burn rapidly, potentially resulting in severe burns to large areas of the child’s body. For this reason, cotton is not permitted in loose-fitting sleepwear.

Neither Health Canada nor Bête pas Bête design Inc. has received reports of incidents or injuries related to the use of this sleepwear.

Number sold

Approximately 184 units of the children’s sleepwear have been sold in Canada, primarily online.

Time period sold

The recalled sleepwear was sold from May 2012 to February 2013.
