Product description

This recall involves Under the Nile side-tie kimonos, size 3 to 6 months that are made of 100% cotton and identified by UPC numbers 874259025493, 874259025516, 874259027435, 874259027459, 874259021860 and 874259021846.

The kimonos come in blush, ice blue, star print blue/coral, star print lavender/kiwi, off white and sage/yellow animal print.

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 Under the Nile nor Health Canada has received any reports of consumer incidents or injuries related to the use of these products.

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

Approximately 105 of size 3-6 months of the recalled products were sold in Canada.
