Plain-English summary

Zutopia, a division of Wet Seal Inc., is recalling 15 different styles of girl's loungewear. The recall involves approximately 5,500 units of the clothing, which were sold in girl's sizes small through extra-large (equivalent to girl's sizes 7-14). The items were sold at Zutopia stores nationwide from January 2003 through October 2003 for between $18 and $26.50.

The loungewear failed to meet federal flammability standards for children's sleepwear. These standards require sleepwear, including loungewear, to be flame resistant and for the flame to self-extinguish if the garment ignites. The non-compliance poses a risk of serious burn injuries to children. No injuries have been reported in connection with this recall, which is being conducted to prevent the possibility of injury.

Parents should stop their children from wearing the recalled loungewear immediately. Consumers can return the item(s) to any Zutopia store for a full refund or exchange and receive $10 in Zu Dollarz for a future purchase. For more information, consumers can contact The Wet Seal at (866) 475-2255 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. PT Monday through Friday, or write to the company at 26972 Burbank, Foothill Ranch, CA 92610, attention: Zutopia Recall, or email [email protected].
