The Consumer Product Safety Commission says kids pajamas have to be made out of a flame resistant material. However, this is not always the case. There have been recalls of children's pajamas such as this recall from April. On this MSNBC video Rosemary Ellis from Good Housekeeping magazine says some manufacturers are circumventing this rule by misnaming the garments. They are not calling the products kids pajamas in order to avoid the rule. They might even have a label that says the item is not intended as sleepwear. However, these same garments are still being marketing for kids. Good Housekeeping also tested a number of kids pajamas to see if they are flame resistant.
