The federal agency said its “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.”

As of November 29th, TJX Canada had received no reports of consumer incidents in Canada, and no reports of injuries, Health Canada said.

Consumers are being advised to return them to where they were purchased for a full refund.

For more information, consumers may contact TJX Canada at 1-800-646-9466, between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday to Friday.

Health Canada notes that children’s sleepwear sold in Canada must meet strict flammability requirements that improve safety. For information on what makes safe sleepwear, visit the Health Canada’s children’s sleepwear page.
