Children’s sleepwear is subject to federal flammability standards 16 CFR 1615 and 16 CFR 1616. These requirements are designed to protect children from burns that could occur if the child wearing the pajamas was near an open flame or fire. The standard requires that fabric used in sleepwear children’s sleepwear must be "flame resistant and self-extinguish if a flame from a candle, match, lighter or a similar item causes it to catch fire."
The regulation is designed to cover children’s sleepwear for ≥ size 9 months and ≤ size 14. Prior to being placed into commerce, two things must be assured: (1) the fabric/garment must pass the federally required flammability tests; or (2) be "tight fitting" as indicated by the specific dimensions in the standard
This week Bella Bliss announced a voluntary recall of 2,300 of their Bliss Collection Children’s Henley Pima Cotton Pajama sets for failure to pass the federal flammability standard. The two-piece sleepwear sets in children sizes 2 through 12 were manufactured in Peru and came in white and three other pastel colors; blue, pink and red.
