Product description
This recall involves the following Sweet Peanut sleepwear:
- Long peanut suit scattered flowers
- Long peanut suit adventure stripe

They are made of 100% cotton with a CA number of 50902 in sizes 6-12 mo, 12-18 mo and 18-24 mo.
Hazard identified
Health Canada's sampling and evaluation program has determined that these products do not meet the flammability requirements for children's sleepwear under Canadian law.
Loose-fitting children's sleepwear can contact ignition sources such as stove elements, candles, and matches more readily than tight-fitting sleepwear, and once ignited will burn rapidly, potentially resulting in severe burns to large areas of the child's body. For this reason, cotton is not permitted in loose-fitting sleepwear.
Neither Health Canada nor Sweet Peanut has received reports of incidents or injuries related to the use of the affected sleepwear.
Number sold
Approximately 110 of the recalled products were sold in Canada.
Time period sold
The recalled products were sold from February 1 to April 2, 2013.
Place of origin
Manufactured in India.
