Compliance Verification Project 2023-2024: Children’s sleepwear regulations

Fiscal year 2023-2024

Summary

The Consumer Product Safety Program (CPSP) administers and enforces the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act (CCPSA) and its regulations.

The purpose of this Compliance Verification (CV) project was to verify industry’s compliance of children’s sleepwear with the flammability requirements of the Children’s Sleepwear Regulations.

For this project, compliance of select children’s sleepwear was determined through an evaluation process where Health Canada inspectors visited establishments both online and in-person and sampled relevant products. Compliance with the requirements listed under the Regulations was verified through testing at the Product Safety Laboratory.

Prior to initiating inspections, the CPSP carried out a market survey to determine the presence of establishments selling, importing, or manufacturing children’s sleepwear in Canada. Targets were then selected from that survey.

Over the course of the 2023-2024 fiscal year, flammability testing of 20 different products was carried out, where all the samples tested were imported products. The testing resulted in 3 recalls and 2 stop sales. There were 15 instances where no corrective action was required.

Results

Readers should consult the individual recall and safety notices, if applicable, for more details.

Disclaimer: Inspectors apply a systematic bias during the selection of establishments and samples. Inspectors do not select products randomly; instead, they select the ones that are more likely not to meet health and safety requirements. Due to this biased nature of sampling and the fact that sample sizes within CV projects are very small, Health Canada does not consider the findings of CV projects to reflect overall market compliance, unless otherwise stated. Note that these summary reports relate only to the product(s) actually tested and the specific criteria measured in this project. Testing by Health Canada does not represent approval or endorsement of the product(s).
