Hazard identified
Health Canada has established that these products do not meet the flammability requirements for children's sleepwear under Canadian law.
Children's sleepwear that is loose fitting 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. Cotton is not permitted in loose-fitting children's sleepwear.
Neither Boyz Group nor Health Canada has received any reports of incidents or injuries related to the use of this sleepwear.
