The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), in cooperation with Target Corp. of Minneapolis, Minnesota, has announced a voluntary recall of about 560,000 children’s two-piece pajama sets that fail to meet federal flammability standards and pose a burn hazard to children.

The sets come in a variety of colors and designs, including stars, dots, skulls, peace signs, cats, owls, footballs, and camouflage. A complete list of item numbers included in this recall is available at target.com.The item number is located on a tag on the shirt’s side seam and on the pants at the waist. A tag printed on the neck of the pajamas states “Circo” or “Xhilaration,” “Wear snug-fitting not flame resistant,” and the item number. The pajamas were also sold with a yellow hang tag that states, “For child’s safety, garment should fit snugly. This garment is not flame resistant. Loose-fitting garment is more likely to catch fire.”
