Target Recalls Children's Two-Piece Pajama Sets Due to Violation of Federal Flammability Standard
Why was Target Children's Two-Piece Pajama Sets recalled?
The children's cotton or cotton/fleece pajamas sets fail to meet the federal flammability standards for children's sleepwear, because they do not meet the tight-fitting sizing requirements. This poses a burn hazard to children.
