Hazard identified
Health Canada has established that this product does not meet the flammability requirements for children's sleepwear under Canadian law.
Loose-fitting children's sleepwear, including robes, can contact ignition sources such as stove elements, candles, and matches more readily than tight-fitting sleepwear. When loose-fitting sleepwear is made with natural fibres such as cotton or rayon from bamboo, they can burn rapidly, potentially resulting in severe burns to large areas of the child's body.
Health Canada has not received any reports of incidents or injuries as related to the use of this robe.
For more information, visit the Healthy Canadians fact sheet Children's Sleepwear.
