standards for children's sleepwear flammability. These standards are designed to protect
children from burn injuries if they come in contact with an open flame, such as a match or stove

Consumer Federation of America · 1424 16th St., NW, Suite 604 · Washington, DC 20036 · 202-387-6121 larger than nine months must be either flame-resistant or snug-fitting. Flame-resistant garments do not continue burning when removed from an ignition source. Examples include inherently flame-resistant polyesters that do not require chemical treatment. Snug-fitting garments need not be flame resistant because they are made to fit closely against a child’s body. Snug-fitting sleepwear does not ignite easily and, even if ignited, does not burn readily because there is little oxygen to feed a fire.
