The affected product comes in various sizes, with the following colours and designs embroidered on the front of the tops:

- Pale blue with butterfly and flowers

- Pale blue with bear face and dog
- Bright orange with kittens
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 MGK Fashion Inc. has received reports of incidents or injuries related to the use of the affected products.
Number sold
An unknown number of the recalled pyjama sets were sold at Mega Children's Wear stores in Ontario.
Time period sold
The time period during which the recalled products were sold is unknown.
