Plain-English summary

Empress Arts Ltd. of Valencia, Calif., is recalling about 1,400 units of 100 percent cotton children's two-piece pajama sets. The recall involves boys and girls sizes 12 months to toddler size 4 in four styles: Blue Dot, Blue Stripe, Pink Dot, and Pink Floral. The "Empress Arts" brand is labeled on the back of the neck of the tops and the center back of the waist on the bottoms, which feature an elastic waistband and drawstring.

The pajamas fail to meet federal flammability standards for children's sleepwear, which poses a risk of burn injuries to children. The company has not reported any injuries or illnesses associated with the product. The pajamas were sold at children's boutiques nationwide and online at www.empressarts.com from December 2012 to April 2014 for about $36.

Consumers should immediately take the pajamas away from children. They can return the items to Empress Arts for a $36 online credit at www.empressarts.com, which includes free shipping. For more information, consumers can contact Empress Arts toll-free at (844) 295-8181 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. PT daily or visit the "Product Recall" section on the company's website.
