Gap Inc. Announce Recall of Children's Pajamas

In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, Gap Inc., of San Francisco, Calif., is voluntarily recalling about 231,000 children's pajamas sold at Gap and Old Navy stores. The pajama sets fail to meet federal children's sleepwear flammability standards.

The standards require sleepwear to be flame-resistant, and if the fabric ignites, the flame must self-extinguish. Failure to meet the flammability standards presents a risk of serious burns to children.

Gap Inc. has not received any reports of injuries related to these pajama sets. Gap Inc. is voluntarily conducting this recall to help prevent the possibility of injury. All recalled pajamas have been removed from store shelves.

Today's recall announcement is the reissuance of the recall of the pajama sets announced December 2, 1999 by Gap Inc., and includes five additional style pajama sets that were tested and failed the federal flammability standard.

The six different styles of pajamas being recalled are all made with 100 percent polyester fabric. The pajamas have style numbers 353558, 353554, 733002, 733032, 466291 and 674060. The style numbers are located on labels sewn into the side seams or collar of the garments.

GapKids, babyGap, Gap Outlet and Old Navy stores nationwide sold these pajamas from August 1999 through December 1999 for between $20 and $39.

Parents and caregivers should immediately stop allowing children to wear these pajamas and return them to any Gap or Old Navy location for a refund and a $10 gift certificate.
