Washington, D.C. : The United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced the recall of more than 18,000 children’s sleepwear and pajama products sold via the China-based marketplace Temu last week, citing a risk of burn injuries to children.

In a bulletin, the CPSC reported that approximately 18,620 Juvenno Kids’ button-up short-sleeve pajama tops and shorts violate flammability standards for children’s sleepwear. These items were sold exclusively through Temu, a company recently flagged by the Arkansas attorney general over potential data theft concerns.

The CPSC, an independent agency based in Maryland, promotes consumer product safety by addressing unreasonable risks of injury, developing uniform safety standards, and conducting research into product-related illnesses and injuries.

According to the CPSC notice, the recall involves two-piece pajama sets available in champagne, light purple, and peach. The sets include a short-sleeve, button-up top and matching shorts, with white trim on the sleeves, collar, shirt pocket, placket, shirt hem, and shorts hem.

The Epoch Times reported that the recalled pajamas are labeled as 100 percent polyester, with size, washing instructions, and “MADE IN CHINA” printed on the tag.

The CPSC has advised consumers to "immediately take the recalled pajamas away from children" and to stop using them. They are also instructed to contact Juvenno Kids for a full refund and to destroy the garments by cutting them in half and disposing of them in accordance with local and state recycling laws.

No injuries have been reported in connection with the Juvenno Kids' products, which were sold exclusively online via Temu from October 2022 through May 2024 for approximately $9.

In addition to Juvenno Kids' items, the CPSC also recalled over 4,300 Made-in-China children’s nightgowns manufactured by Lovely Angel Children’s Lace Nightgowns. These products, which also violate federal flammability standards, pose a similar burn risk. The recalled nightgowns were imported by Tong Tai Clothing Co. Ltd., doing business as Lovely Angel, and sold exclusively on Temu from June 2023 to May 2024 for about $10.

The agency advised consumers to take the nightgowns away from children, destroy the product, and request a refund from Lovely Angel’s online store.

Moreover, the CPSC recalled about 45,300 units of another Temu-exclusive children’s pajama product made by Fashion Online due to burn hazard concerns. These Made-in-China pajama sets come in eight styles and feature text such as “I LOVE DAD,” “I LOVE MOM,” “TUTU AWAKE TO SLEEP,” and “LOL,” along with images of unicorns and hearts.

The federal agency also recalled two other children’s products not exclusively sold on Temu: Halloween witch hats sold by Illinois-based Claire’s and Icing Stores and Chinese-made SWOMOG pajamas sold via Amazon.com. These products were recalled for posing a burn hazard risk, and consumers were advised to destroy the items and request refunds from the respective companies.

The recalls follow a lawsuit filed by Arkansas Attorney General Jim Griffin against Temu last month, alleging that the app engages in data theft using malware and spyware. Griffin claimed that Temu's code is designed to evade detection and access consumer information completely.

A Temu spokesperson responded to the lawsuit and Griffin’s claims, telling The Epoch Times that the allegations are based on misinformation and are unfounded. “We categorically deny the allegations and will vigorously defend ourselves. We understand that as a new company with an innovative supply chain model, some may misunderstand us at first glance and not welcome us,” the spokesperson said.
