Product description

This recall involves 100% cotton terry cloth bathrobes with micro fibre trim, size 0 to 9 months. The bathrobes are white with various coloured trim and detachable belt available in blue, pink, fuchsia, orange, lime and chocolate. "Katie Little for KIDSLINE" is written on the neck tag.

Hazard identified

The recalled bathrobes do not meet the design and flammability requirements for children's sleepwear under Canadian law.

Children's sleepwear that is loose fitting or that has loose edges can contact ignition sources such as stove elements, candles, and matches more easily than tight-fitting sleepwear. Once ignited the sleepwear can burn rapidly and cause severe burns to large areas of the child's body, resulting in shock and sometimes death.

Neither Kids Line nor Health Canada have received reports of incidents or injuries related to the use of this product.

For more information, visit Health Canada's fact sheet Children's Sleepwear.
