RECALLS: Children’s clothing, cribs, lawn mowers and torches recalled in Ontario

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.
