Kith Retail Recalls "Kithmas" Plaid Lounge Sets for Babies and Kids — Burn Hazard

If your family picked up Kith plaid loungewear sets for your kids this past holiday season, stop using them now. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has recalled Kith Retail's "Baby Kithmas" and "Kids Kithmas" plaid lounge sets due to a burn hazard — the woven fabric fails mandatory federal flammability standards for children's sleepwear and can ignite too easily.

No injuries or incidents have been reported in the United States or Canada. But the CPSC's guidance is immediate: stop use, destroy the product, and contact Kith for a refund.

The Hazard

The problem is with the woven fabric itself. Federal law requires children's sleepwear to meet specific flammability standards — fabric that fails those standards is classified as a burn hazard because it can catch fire more easily than the standards allow. The CPSC classifies this as a risk of serious burn injury.

Loungewear and pajama-style sets marketed to children are subject to the same sleepwear safety standards as traditional pajamas, because children often wear them to bed or in close proximity to heat sources.

What to Do

The recall remedy is specific. You cannot simply return the items to a store or donate them. The CPSC and Kith require that you:

1. Stop using the product immediately
2. Destroy the set by cutting it in half
3. Photograph the destroyed product
4. Email the photo to recalls@kithnyc.com to receive a full refund

The destruction requirement is standard practice for recalled children's sleepwear — it ensures the items don't re-enter circulation through resale, donation, or hand-me-downs.

What's Next

Check closets, storage bins, and any boxes from holiday gifts that may still have these sets. If you find them, move them away from children immediately and follow the destruction-and-refund process above. The official CPSC recall notice is available at cpsc.gov — search "Kith Retail" or "Kithmas" for the full details.
