Recall Alert: Bellabu Bear Children's Robes Fail Flammability Standards

The Consumer Product Safety Commission has recalled about 1,300 Bellabu Bear bamboo sherpa robes for children under recall number 26-013. The robes don't meet the mandatory federal flammability standard for children's sleepwear, which means they pose a burn hazard. If you have one, stop using it.

What the Hazard Is

Children's sleepwear sold in the United States must meet federal flammability standards under the Flammable Fabrics Act. The standards exist because children's sleep environments — candles, space heaters, fireplaces, stoves — can expose sleepwear to open flame or intense heat. Fabric that ignites easily and burns quickly is significantly more dangerous than fabric that passes the standard.

Bamboo fabric, including bamboo sherpa blends, can be manufactured to meet flammability standards, but these particular robes don't. The hazard is not theoretical — it's the reason the standard exists and why the CPSC enforces it for children's sleepwear specifically.

The robes are being recalled as sleepwear. If you've been using yours as a robe after bath time rather than overnight, the same flammability concern applies if your child is near any heat source while wearing it.

Who This Affects

Parents who purchased a Bellabu Bear bamboo sherpa robe between January 2024 and July 2025 — through Saks Fifth Avenue or a children's boutique — should check whether their product is included in the recall.

Because these were sold through specialty retailers rather than mass-market chains, this recall may have lower visibility than larger-brand recalls. If you know another family who shops at Saks or children's boutiques, it's worth mentioning.

What to Do

Stop using the robe immediately. Return it to the retailer where you purchased it for a full refund.
