Affected products

Product description

This recall involves the H&M Hooded and Terry Bathrobes sold in sizes 2-6 months through 3-4 years. The hooded bathrobes are grey with blue and white striping on the inside or pink and white striping on the inside. The terry bathrobes are white with a cat design on the hood.

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.

As of April 8, 2019, the company has received no report of incidents in Canada or the United States.
