12,461 Sweet Cubby Kids' Loungewear Sets Sold on SHEIN Fail Federal Flammability ...

About 12,461 children's loungewear sets sold on SHEIN.com under the Sweet Cubby name have been recalled because they violate the mandatory federal flammability standard for children's sleepwear, posing a risk of serious burn injuries or death, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said . The recall covers all Sweet Cubby children's loungewear sets. The two-piece sets pair a short-sleeved shirt with matching shorts. They were sold from June 2025 through May 2026 for $8 to $12, in children's sizes 5-6Y through 13-14Y. No incidents or injuries have been reported. For parents, the risk is ordinary rather than exotic: a child in loose clothing leaning over a birthday candle, standing near a gas stove, or sitting close to a fireplace or space heater. Those moments become more common as cooler weather arrives, and federal sleepwear rules exist for exactly those situations. The Label Details Parents Should Look For CPSC says "Batch No.: 272779," and the size is printed on both the sewn-in neck label and a seam label. The sets came in various colors, so appearance alone will not confirm a match. If a label is missing or faded, checking your SHEIN order history for a Sweet Cubby loungewear purchase between June 2025 and May 2026 is the most reliable backup. The recall was announced on Sept. 10 under CPSC recall number 26-752. The retailer is listed as Hong Kong Xuheyuan Trading Co., Ltd., doing business as Sweet Cubby, and the garments were made in China. FOX 5 Atlanta and other stations have also reported the recall. Consumers should "stop using the recalled loungewear sets immediately, take them away from children," CPSC said. Families with several children should also check drawers and hand-me-down bins, since a set bought for an older sibling may now belong to a younger one. Loose-Fitting Sleepwear and the Federal Burn Standard Children's sleepwear sold in the U.S. must meet federal flammability standards under the Flammable Fabrics Act. One rule covers sizes 0 through 6X, and another covers sizes 7 through 14. The Sweet Cubby size range spans both. The standards are designed to protect children from small open flames such as matches, lighters, candles, fireplace embers, stoves, and space heaters. Garments can comply in two ways. They can pass fabric and finished-garment flame tests, or they can qualify as tight-fitting sleepwear that meets specific sizing, labeling, and tagging requirements, which exempts them from the flame tests. Loose sets sold as loungewear but worn to bed have been a repeated problem. CPSC recalls this year have also covered children's loungewear from Kith, as well as other children's pajama sets that failed the same standards. Children in the recalled size range, roughly ages 5 to 14, face the most direct exposure, especially in homes that use space heaters, fireplaces, candles, or gas stoves. Kids who help in the kitchen or gather around fire pits in loose clothing face the same hazard. The danger is how the fabric behaves near a flame, not skin contact during normal wear. The pattern includes earlier SHEIN listings. In February 2025, CPSC announced a recall of about 17,300 SHEIN EVRYDAY Kids pajama sets for violating federal flammability regulations for children's sleepwear, and CPSC's related-recall list includes SHEIN's Michley children's pajamas this year. MedicalDaily recently reported on SHEIN's fourth spiral toy recall since August 2025 , which noted how a noncompliant design can reappear under a different seller name. A Refund Process Built Around an Email Address The remedy has several steps. Email Sweet Cubby at SweetCubby@163.com to request a full refund. Cut each set in half, photograph the destroyed garments, send the photo to the same address, and then throw the pieces away. The CPSC notice lists email as the only contact method. Keep the order number and a copy of the photo. If the seller does not respond, the CPSC notice page includes a recall complaint form for consumers who believe a company is not honoring its remedy. Families can also call the CPSC hotline at 800-638-2772 or report problems and injuries at SaferProducts.gov . Do not donate or resell the sets. CPSC notes that federal law prohibits selling products subject to a recall, which rules out thrift stores, consignment shops, and online resale groups. Standard fire safety guidance still applies at home. A child whose clothing catches fire should stop, drop, and roll, and any burn that blisters widely, affects the face, hands, or genitals, or comes with trouble breathing needs emergency care. Keeping children away from open flames and heaters is the simplest daily protection, regardless of what they are wearing. Before buying children's sleepwear from online marketplaces, parents can search CPSC's recall database and look for garments that are either labeled as flame resistant or carry the tags required for tight-fitting sleepwear.
