Paper Cape Children’s Pajamas recall: reason, colors, sizes and all you need to know

The children's clothing brand, Paper Cape, has issued a nationwide recall for its Children's Pajamas as the clothing fails to meet federal flammability standards for children's sleepwear.

The recalled children's pajamas may pose a serious to severe burn injury risk to children.

All clothing and/or sleepwear meant for children has to comply with the Federal Flammability standards as children are often prone to experiencing burn injuries from heaters, candles, lamps, etc while sleeping.

The Federal Flammability Standard's minimum flammability resistance limit helps to ensure the safety of children who are the intended users of sleepwear.

The recalled children's pajama sets are available in various colors and prints across the country. Though they pose serious burn hazard risks, neither the CPSC nor the Paper Cape company have received reports of any fatalities or injuries caused due to the recalled children's sleepwear.
