P Jammers™ Girls Night Shirt

Product description

This recall involves P Jammers™ girls night shirts, sold in children's sizes 8 to 16. The fibre content for this style was labelled as 100% polyester. The recalled night shirt is green with blue sleeves and has a screen print image with the words "Peace and Love". The night shirt can be identified by item number 53242, which can be found on the Sears price ticket or the Sears sales receipt.

Hazard identified

The print on the night shirts does not meet flammability requirements for children's sleepwear under Canadian law.

Loose-fitting children's sleepwear can contact stove elements, candles, and matches more readily and once ignited, will burn rapidly, potentially resulting in severe burns to large areas of the child's body.

Neither Sears nor Health Canada has received any reports of incidents or injuries related to the use of these children's sleepwear items.

Number sold

The number of recalled night shirts sold is not known.

Time period sold

The recalled products were sold from April 2009 to May 2009 at Sears Canada retail stores across Canada.
