The recalled nightgowns violate the mandatory flammability standards for children’s sleepwear, posing a risk of burn injuries to children.
The recalled infant bath tubs violate the mandatory standard for consumer products containing button cell or coin batteries because the built-in thermometer contains button cell batteries that can be accessed easily by children.

The non-full-sized crib mattress also fails to meet the mandatory standard for mattress set flammability.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is charged with protecting the public from unreasonable risk of injury associated with the use of thousands of types of consumer products. Deaths, injuries, and property damage from consumer product-related incidents cost the nation more than $1 trillion annually. Since the CPSC was established more than 50 years ago, it has worked to ensure the safety of consumer products, which has contributed to a decline in injuries associated with these products.
Federal law prohibits any person from selling products subject to a Commission ordered recall or a voluntary recall undertaken in consultation with the CPSC.
