Summary

Gildan Activewear is recalling approximately 10,600 American Apparel brand Baby Rib Collection children's knit sleep sacks. These sleep sacks, made from 100% cotton or a cotton-polyester blend, fail to meet federal flammability standards for children's sleepwear. The affected products were sold exclusively online in various colors including black, green, gray, light blue, navy, pink, red, and white in size 6-12 months. Consumers should immediately stop using these sleep sacks and contact the company for a full refund or a replacement product of similar value.

Risk

The sleep sacks do not meet mandatory flammability safety standards, creating a risk that the fabric could ignite and cause burn injuries to children. While no injuries have been reported, the products pose a serious fire safety hazard during sleep.

  2. Confirm if your sleep sack is one of the affected colors: Black, green, gray, light blue, navy, pink, red, or white.
  3. Immediately stop using the recalled sleep sacks and move them out of reach of children.
  4. Contact American Apparel toll-free at 833-222-7760 from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. PT Monday through Friday, or email service@americanapparel.com with 'Product Recall' as the subject line to receive a full refund or a replacement product of similar value.
