Description

Washington, D.C. (Nov. 8) -- The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission today announced that it has provisionally accepted a consent order prohibiting Lady Lovely Apparel, Inc., 2801 South Main Street, Salt Lake City, Utah 84115, from selling products which fail to meet the requirements of the Flammable Fabrics Act, as amended. Specifically, the Commission found that certain styles of infant's gowns and toddler's pajamas, gowns and robes, manufactured after July 29, 1972, failed to meet the acceptance criterion of the Standard for the Flammability of Children's Sleepwear (DOC FF 3-71). The styles in question are as follows:  - Style #632-Baby gowns in sizes 61 12, 18 and 24 months; - Style #6130-Toddler's pajamas for ages 3, 4, 6 and 6x;- Style #6131-Toddler's gowns for ages 3, 4, 6, and 6x.- Style #6132-Toddler's button robes for ages 3, 4, 6 and 6x.Each of the garments has a cloth label sewn into the inside shoulder seam which has the style number written on the backside in pen or pencil. The label reads as follows:  LADY LOVELY 100% Nylon Tricot. EXCLUSIVE OF TRIM MACHINE WASH WARM. GENTLE. TUMBLE DRY. LOW. REMOVE PROMPTLY. DO NOT TWIST OR WRING, WASH DARKS SEPARATELY. RN 30896 [Age-Size]All of the garments were made of 100% Nylon tricot and come in various colors including blue, pink, coral, lavender, yellow or white. The Commission knows of no other way to describe this sleepwear. Most of the garments in question were sold in department stores in Idaho, Utah and California. Lady Lovely Apparel, Inc. has consented to notify customers who may have purchased the product and conduct a recall. This announcement is made in the public interest in order to alert consumers of the sleepwear's failure to conform to the flammability standard. The Complaint and Consent Order will remain on the public record from November 8 through January 6. Comments from the public received during this period will become part of the Public Record. The Commission may withdraw its acceptance of the Agreement after further consideration. The Agreement is for settlement purposes only and does not constitute an admission by the respondents that they violated the law. When issued by the Commission on a final basis the consent order does carry the force of law with respect to future violations. A violation of such an order may result in a civil penalty up to $10,000 per violation being imposed upon a respondent.

Frequently Asked Questions

Follow the consumer action instructions in the recall notice above. Most recalls require you to stop using the product and contact the manufacturer directly, either by calling the toll-free number listed in the official CPSC notice or by visiting the manufacturer's website. You generally do not need a receipt or original packaging to claim a remedy. The manufacturer is legally required to provide the remedy (refund, replacement, or repair) at no cost to you.

Yes. If you were injured by a defective consumer product, whether recalled or not, you may have grounds for a product liability claim against the manufacturer and potentially the retailer. A recall notice can serve as evidence that the manufacturer was aware of the defect. Injuries that may support a claim include burns, lacerations, fractures, electric shock, choking incidents, and chemical exposure. Most product liability attorneys work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing unless you win. Consult an attorney promptly, as statutes of limitation vary by state.

In most cases, no. CPSC-coordinated recall remedies are designed to be accessible without proof of purchase. Manufacturers typically ask consumers to self-certify ownership and may ask for photos of the product or its serial number. Some manufacturers request that you mail in a portion of the product (such as a cut cord or removed component) as proof of disposal. Check the specific remedy instructions for this recall for exact requirements. If you registered your product at the time of purchase, the process is usually even simpler.

If the original manufacturer has gone out of business, the recall remedy may no longer be available through them. In this case, contact CPSC directly at 1-800-638-2772 or cpsc.gov for guidance. If the brand was acquired by another company, the acquiring company may have assumed recall obligations. In some cases where a remedy is unavailable, CPSC advises consumers to safely dispose of the product. If you were injured by the product of a defunct company, consult a product liability attorney, parent companies, distributors, and retailers may still bear liability in some circumstances.
