Résumé
The Commission proposes to amend flammability standards applicable to children's sleepwear in sizes 0 through 6X and sizes 7 through 14. The amendments proposed below would revise the definition of ``children's sleepwear'' in the standard for sizes 0 through 6X to exclude garments in some infant sizes and tight-fitting garments from the products which are subject to the standard, and would revise the definition of ``children's sleepwear'' in the standard for sizes 7 through 14 to exclude ``tight-fitting garments.'' The Commission is proposing these amendments because it has reason to believe that the existing children's sleepwear standards may not be limited to those sleepwear garments which present an unreasonable risk of burn deaths and injuries. Information available to the Commission indicates that by removing certain garments which do not present that unreasonable risk of injury, the proposed amendments would afford consumers a wider selection of sleepwear garments for children without diminishing the protection provided by the children's sleepwear standards. 1
