"In the January issue of Good Housekeeping, the Good Housekeeping Research Institute (GHRI) published the results of an investigation of children&amp;#039;s sleepwear. We found five children&amp;#039;s garments that looked like pajamas, but weren&amp;#039;t labeled as such, failed our flammability tests. Yesterday the U.S. Consumer Products Safety Commission (CPSC) announced a recall of Papa Bear Loungeabouts, one of the sleepwear sets we called out for failing our flammability tests due to a violation of the Federal Flammability Standard. According to the standard, children&amp;#039;s sleepwear must be either flame-resistant or tight-fitting enough to reduce the risk of catching fire. We caution you to carefully examine labels on children&amp;#039;s clothing that you intend to use as sleepwear. *All Loose-fitting pajamas should be labeled &amp;quot;flame resistant&amp;quot; and with a unit identification code so they can be tracked in case of a recall. The care label should list instructions on how to wash the sleepwear to retain flame resistance (for example, avoid fabric softener). *Tight-fitting sleepwear should have a tag stating that the item be worn snugly and isn&amp;#039;t flame resistant and that loose-fitting garments are more likely to catch fire. If you are concerned about the possibility of chemicals near your child&amp;#039;s skin, this is your best option.
