Product description

This recall involves Girls' Hello Kitty 2-Piece Pyjama sets that include a short-sleeved top and boxer shorts. The pyjamas are made of 95% cotton and 5% spandex, come in sizes 2-6X.

Hazard identified

Health Canada has determined that the recalled sleepwear does not meet the design and 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.

Neither Health Canada nor NTD Apparel Inc. has received reports of incidents or injuries related to the use of this sleepwear.

Approximately 850 of the recalled pyjama sets were sold at Winners stores across Canada.
