What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Plain-English summary

Gap Inc. is recalling approximately 231,000 children's pajamas sold at Gap, GapKids, babyGap, Gap Outlet, and Old Navy stores nationwide. The recall covers six specific styles of pajamas made with 100 percent polyester fabric, which were sold between August 1999 and December 1999 for prices ranging from $20 to $39. The affected style numbers are 353558, 353554, 733002, 733032, 466291, and 674060.

The recall was issued because the pajama sets fail to meet federal children's sleepwear flammability standards. These standards require sleepwear to be flame-resistant and for the flame to self-extinguish if the fabric ignites. The failure to meet these standards presents a risk of serious burns to children. Gap Inc. has not received any reports of injuries related to these pajama sets.

Parents and caregivers should immediately stop allowing children to wear these pajamas. Consumers can return the items to any Gap or Old Navy location for a refund and a $10 gift certificate. For more information, consumers can call Gap Inc. at (800) GAPSTYLE or (800) OLD NAVY between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. PT Monday through Friday, or visit gapinc.com/performance/news_releases/dec2_99_other.htm.
