- All loose fitting sleepwear including nightgowns, nightshirts, dressing gowns, bathrobes, house coats, robes, pyjamas and baby doll pyjamas made of 100% cotton, acrylic or acetate or blends of these fibres, cannot be sold due to their failure to meet flammability standards.

Drawstrings:
Drawstrings on children's snowsuits, jackets and sweatshirts can become caught on playground equipment, fences or other objects and result in strangulation, or in the case of a vehicle, the child being dragged. Check all children's clothing for loose drawstrings.
- All drawstrings should be removed from the head and neck area of children's clothing.
- At the bottom of children's clothing, either remove the drawstrings completely or trim the exposed length to 8 cm (3 in) with the garment fully stretched.
- Make sure the end of the drawstring is free of knots, loops or toggles, which can also become caught.
