A New York fashion brand has recalled a range of $75 children's pajamas that pose a potential burn risk.
La Ligne has announced that it is initiating a voluntary recall for its Enfant Bonne Nuit line after it was found to not meet federal flammability standards for children's sleepwear.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has warned consumers that the recalled pajamas should be immediately taken away from children, destroyed and then disposed of.
Newsweek has contacted La Ligne for comment by email outside working hours.
Why It Matters
Children's sleepwear sold in the United States must comply with stringent federal flammability standards designed to reduce the risk of severe injuries and fatalities from garment-related fires.
The La Ligne recall, which was issued on August 7, affects 1,185 units. In announcing the recall, the fashion brand explained that testing found the pajamas, which were designed to mimic its adult Bonne Nuit range, did not meet flammability standards.

What To Know
La Ligne said in the recall notice: "We learned that 100 percent cotton pajamas that have not been treated with a chemical flame-resistant substance, and/or are not tight fitting, will generally not meet the federal standards required for children's sleepwear. 100 percent untreated cotton remains completely safe and preferred by many for adult sleepwear."
The pajamas feature a two-piece, long-sleeve set available in multiple color combinations—green with light blue trim, pink with red trim, red with white trim, light blue with red trim, navy with white trim, and white with navy trim—and were sold in sizes 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10.
Each garment displays "La Ligne," "Mini" and the size on the neck label. "Made in Peru" appears with RN number 150209 on a seam label.
These sets were offered both in La Ligne's retail stores and online at lalignenyc.com between November 2023 and March 2025, retailing for about $75 per set.

Consumer Product Safety Commission
No injuries or burn incidents have been reported to date.
To obtain a $75 refund or store credit, La Ligne requires that customers cut the garments following a set of disposal instructions and email [e-mail] with photos of the destroyed pajamas.
Its disposal instructions are as follows:
For the pajama bottoms, cut both pant legs vertically from waist band to ankle cuff.
For the pajama tops, cut large hole on either side of the button placket.
Take a photo of the pajama top and bottoms to send to La Ligne. This is a required part of the refund process.
Discontinue the use of the pajamas immediately.
What People Are Saying
La Ligne said in its recall announcement: "This is an important update for customers who may have purchased the Enfant Bonne Nuit children's pajamas from us or who received them as gifts. In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), we have initiated a voluntary recall [of] these children's pajamas, which upon recent testing were found not to meet federal flammability standards for children's sleepwear."
The brand added: "We sincerely apologize for this inconvenience and thank you for your understanding."
The Consumer Product Safety Commission said of the pajamas: "The recalled children's pajama sets violate mandatory standards for children's sleepwear flammability, posing a risk of burn injuries to children."
What Happens Next
The recall, which is voluntary but conducted in cooperation with the CPSC, remains ongoing.
