On January 20, 2017, Health Canada and HAMCO, Inc. jointly announced a voluntary recall of Chinese-made baby bathrobes.
The product recalled this time is Nautica 100% cotton baby hooded bathrobe, suitable for babies aged 0 to 9 years old, in pink or dark blue. Relevant information about this product is as follows,
The recalled products were sold in 56 pieces at the Canadian buybuyBaby store and online store www.bedbathandbeyond.ca from July 2016 to October 2016. The reason for the recall is that Health Canada’s sampling tests determined that the recalled products did not meet the requirements of Canadian law regarding the flammability of children’s pajamas. Children’s loose-fitting pajamas are more likely to come into contact with ignition sources such as stoves, candles and matches than tight-fitting pajamas. Once ignited, loose pajamas will burn quickly and may cause severe burns over large areas of a child’s body. Therefore, cotton is not allowed in loose fitting pajamas fabrics.
As of January 19, 2017, the formula has not received any reports of accidents or personal injuries related to the use of this product. For more information about sleepwear safety, check out the HealthyCanadianschildren’ssleepwear page.
Health Canada advises consumers to immediately stop using the recalled products and return them to the store where they were purchased for a full refund. Canada implements voluntary recall of Chinese baby bathrobes
