Plain-English summary

Vive La Fete Inc. is recalling specific children's two-piece pajama sets, including styles HSH158BPL and HSH159BPL, because they fail to meet federal flammability standards for children's sleepwear. The recalled pajamas consist of a long-sleeve shirt with a collar and buttons paired with matching full-length pants with an elastic waistband. Style HSH158BPL is blue with a white snowflake pattern, while style HSH159BPL is red and white gingham checkered. The style number is printed on a white label on the garment's hangtag, and the garments feature two tags sewn into the neckline with "VIVE LA FÊTE" printed on the top tag.

The recall covers approximately 710 units of these pajama sets in children's sizes 6 months through size 12. The products were sold in boutiques, children's specialty stores nationwide, and online at www.vivelafete.com from September 2012 to January 2013 for about $40. The pajamas were manufactured in El Salvador.

The hazard is that the pajamas fail to meet federal flammability standards, which poses a risk of burn injuries to children. The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has not received any reports of injuries or illnesses associated with these products. Consumers should immediately stop using the pajamas and contact Vive La Fete at (800) 535-7396 from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or online at www.vivelafete.com, to receive a full refund.
