The Hazard
BURN
Silks is recalling all children’s loungewear sets because they don’t meet the required safety standards for flammability. This means the clothing can catch fire too easily, putting children at serious risk of burns and potentially death. Stop using these sets immediately.
About 7,900 units are affected. No injuries have been reported.
Technical Breakdown
The recalled loungewear sets fail to meet the mandatory flammability standards set for children’s sleepwear. These standards are in place to ensure that clothing worn by children is less likely to ignite and burn rapidly, providing a crucial layer of safety. The fabric used in these loungewear sets doesn’t resist fire as well as it should. If exposed to a flame, it could quickly catch fire and spread, leading to severe burns.
The loungewear sets include a short-sleeved shirt and either shorts or pants. They were sold in various colors and prints and came in children’s sizes 2T through 13/14. The brand name “Silks” and the size are printed on labels inside the clothing.
Affected Products
- All Silks-branded children’s loungewear sets, including two-piece sets with short-sleeved shirts and matching shorts or pants. Sizes range from 2T through 13/14.
Sentinel Action Plan
- STOP: Immediately stop your children from wearing the recalled loungewear. Take the sets away from them.
- DOCUMENT: Take a picture of the loungewear set after you’ve cut both the top and bottom in half. This photo will be needed for the refund process.
- ACT: Email the photo of the destroyed garments to silkssupport@silksdesign.com. You can then throw away the loungewear sets. Contact Silks for a full refund or store credit.
