What’s wrong with it?
These robes, when used as sleepwear, fail to meet federal flammability standards for children’s sleepwear. The standards require sleepwear, including robes, to be flame resistant, and if the garment ignites, the flame must self-extinguish. Failure to meet the flammability standards presents a risk of serious burn injuries to children.
