Quiksilver and Roxy Girl Lounge Pants

CPSC
The CPSC and Quiksilver Inc., of Huntington Beach, Calif. are recalling about 48,000 Quiksilver and Roxy Girl lounge pants because they 'fail to meet the children's sleepwear flammability standards, posing a risk of burn injury to children, due to the possible ignition of the garment.'

According to the CPSC recall alert, 'the recalled loungewear was sold in girls and boys sizes 7 through 14 in plaid, camouflage, floral and heart print patterns with elastic or drawstring waistbands. Girls' items are labeled 'ROXY GIRL' and boys' items are labeled 'QUIKSILVER'. For specific information on which models are included in this recall, consumers should contact the firm.'

Parents should not let their children sleep in these lounge pants and should return them for a refund or contact Quiksilver Consumer Affairs at (800) 576-4004 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., PT, or e-mail the firm at channels@quiksilver.com.
