The problem, in CPSC's words

The pants and boxers fail to meet the federal flammability standards for children's sleepwear, posing a risk of burn injury to children.

Incidents and injuries reported to CPSC

Rigo has received one report of a garment catching fire and causing severe burns to the front and back of both legs of a 9-year-old boy.
