Japanese casual clothing retailer Uniqlo has recalled 700 children's pyjamas, which were made in China, because they do not meet federal flammability standards for children's sleepwear and pose a risk of burn injuries.
However, no incidents have been reported to the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
The polyester knit fabric long-sleeved one-piece products were sold in infant sizes 9M to 12M between September and November 2012 for about US$15.
