Quiksilver Recalls Children's Lounge Pants Due to Burn Hazard
CPSC recall 06228 · announced August 9, 2006 · Quiksilver · 48,000 units affected
The product
The recalled loungewear was sold in girls' and boys' sizes 7 through 14 in plaid, camouflage, floral and heart print patterns with elastic or drawstring waistbands. Girls' items are labeled "ROXY GIRL" and boys' items are labeled "QUIKSILVER". For specific information on which models are included in this recall, consumers should contact the firm.
The hazard
These lounge pants fail to meet the children's sleepwear flammability standards, posing a risk of burn injury to children, due to the possible ignition of the garment. These garments were not labeled or marketed as sleepwear, but because they are children's loungewear, they must meet the children's sleepwear flammability standards.
What to do (per CPSC)
Parents should stop their children from wearing the recalled lounge pants immediately and return them to the place of purchase for a refund. If consumers are unable to return their recalled item back to the place of purchase, they should contact the firm.
