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 Cows Inc. has received reports of incidents or injuries related to the use of this sleepwear.
Number sold
Approximately 1,660 units of the recalled products were sold at Cows Stores across Canada.
Time period sold
The recalled products were sold from November 2010 to March 2013.
