Children’s sleepwear has been recalled following reports that a boy suffered severe burns associated with the product According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), about 210,000 sets of children’s pull-on pants and boxers were recalled after a nine-year-old boy suffered severe burns to his legs after his clothing went on fire, said MarketWatch. Two other recalls for children’s sleepwear followed, including about 6,000 sets of children’s pajamas imported by Ishtex Textile Products Inc. of Duluth, Georgia and 12,000 sets imported by PajamaGram of Shelburne, Vermont.
