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 children's sleepwear that violates federal flammability standards and creates a risk of burn injuries—a high-risk hazard to a vulnerable population. Although no illnesses or injuries have been reported, the hazard is documented and the product poses direct physical risk, meeting the "High" criterion for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.
