Lovely Angel brand 'Children’s Nightgowns'

Recalled Product(s): Lovely Angel Children’s Nightgowns | Lot number 021123; Manufacture date 11/2023

Recall Date: August 6, 2024

Recall Reason: "The recalled nightgowns do not meet the flammability requirements for children’s sleepwear, posing a risk of burn injuries to children," reads Health Canada's alert. "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."

What You Need To Do: Immediately stop using the recalled products and contact Lovely Angel to receive a full refund. Rather than just throwing away the nightgowns, Health Canada says "consumers should destroy the garments by cutting them in half and disposing of them in accordance with provincial and municipal laws."
