Roupillon-Brand Childrens' Robes
Product description
This recall involves hooded childrens' robes sold under the brand name "Roupillon". The robes are pink or blue and made of 100% polyester. There are 2 front pockets and a crown embroidered on the left chest area.
The robes have style number Y62TE.QE, SKU number 158251 and CA 34937 printed on the hang tag on the inside of the sleepwear.
Hazard identified
The robe 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.
Neither Health Canada nor Le Groupe Boyz Inc. has received reports of incidents or injuries related to the use of this sleepwear.
For more information, see Health Canada's Children's Sleepwear Fact Sheet.
