Product description
This recall involves Under the Nile hooded kimonos, size newborn to 6 months (NB-6M) that are made of 100% cotton and identified by UPC 874259002685. The kimonos are white in colour with green trim.
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 Under the Nile nor Health Canada has received any reports of incidents or injuries related to the use of these products.
For information on what makes safe sleepwear, visit the Healthy Canadians children's sleepwear page.
Number sold
Approximately 12 of the recalled products were sold in Canada.
Time period sold
The recalled products were sold from May 2013 to May 2014.
