Why it was recalled
The pajama sets fail to meet federal children's sleepwear flammability standards. The standards require sleepwear to be flame-resistant, and if the fabric ignites, the flame must self-extinguish. Failure to meet the flammability standards presents a risk of serious burns to children.
Incidents and injuries
Gap Inc. has not received any reports of injuries related to these pajama sets.
Official remedy
Parents and caregivers should immediately stop allowing children to wear these pajamas and return them to any Gap or Old Navy location for a refund and a $10 gift certificate.
