This week, Ontario residents are advised to inspect their homes for children’s clothing, electrical equipment and other items as some pose health risks, including lacerations and burns.
Fashion Online Long-Sleeve/Pants Two-Piece Pajama Sets
This recall involves children’s two-piece pyjama sets sold in eight styles: I Love Dad, I Love Mom, Tutu Awake to Sleep, LOL Bright Pink, LOL Light Pink, Unicorns Forming a Heart, Standing Unicorn, and Unicorn in Heart.
The pyjamas, available in sizes 1Y to 8Y, have a side-seam label listing “100% Cotton,” “Made in China,” size and washing instructions. There is no neck label on the pyjamas.
These pyjama sets fail to meet flammability standards for children’s sleepwear, posing a burn risk.
Loose-fitting sleepwear can more easily contact ignition sources like stove elements, candles, and matches and burns quickly once ignited, potentially causing severe burns over large areas of a child’s body.
The company reported that approximately 1,941 units of the affected products were sold in Canada between February 2023 to May 2024.
Risks: Poses flammability hazards.
What you should do: Individuals should destroy the recalled items by cutting the top and bottom in half before disposing of them. They are also advised to contact Fashion Online for a full refund.
