Quiksilver and Roxy are recalling about 48,000 children's lounge pants because they fail flammability standards, posing a burn risk.

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.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product (burn injury) where no injuries have been reported, which aligns with the 'High' severity criteria in the rubric.

Plain-English summary

Quiksilver Inc. is recalling about 48,000 units of Quiksilver and Roxy Girl lounge pants. The recalled items were sold in girls' and boys' sizes 7 through 14 in plaid, camouflage, floral, and heart print patterns with elastic or drawstring waistbands. Girls' items are labeled "ROXY GIRL" and boys' items are labeled "QUIKSILVER".

The recall is due to a burn hazard. The lounge pants fail to meet the children's sleepwear flammability standards, which poses a risk of burn injury to children due to the possible ignition of the garment. Although these garments were not labeled or marketed as sleepwear, they are children's loungewear and must meet the children's sleepwear flammability standards. No injuries have been reported.

The recalled loungewear was sold at surf and skate shops, specialty stores, and department stores nationwide, including Macy's, McCalou's, Nordstrom, Nordstrom Rack, Quiksilver and Roxy retail stores and outlets, from September 2003 through January 2006 for between $20 and $50. Parents should stop their children from wearing the recalled lounge pants immediately and return them to the place of purchase for a refund. If consumers are unable to return the item to the place of purchase, they should contact Quiksilver Consumer Affairs at (800) 576-4004 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., PT, or e-mail the firm at [email protected].
