What are the risks related to Properly Tied recalled Children's Lounge Pants?

Federal Flammability Standards have set limits that specify the minimum flammability resistance of children's clothing. These set standards help ensure the safety and well-being of sleeping children who are often prone to fire hazards caused by flames from candles, lights, matches, etc.

All children's clothing items have to go through a flammability resistance test, where the fabrics are placed above a gas flame for over 3 seconds. The clothing may then be accepted or rejected depending on the resulting char length.

A good char length means that the flame source won't burn through to the edge of the material from the flame source, thus decreasing burn risks for sleeping children.
