Little Me Footie and Hat sets

Product description

This recall involves Footie and Hat sets in size 9-months in the following patterns:

  • Rose Swirl (model LLQ04467N); and
  • Floral Toss (model LLQ04465N).

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 Health Canada nor Nordstrom has received any reports of consumer incidents or injuries related to the use of the sleepwear listed above.

For information on what makes safe sleepwear, visit the Healthy Canadians children’s sleepwear page.

Number sold

Approximately 49 of the recalled products were sold in Canada at Nordstrom.

Time period sold

The recalled products were sold from December 2015 to February 2017.

Place of origin

Manufactured in China.
