Kith sold children's pajamas that failed the federal flammability standard

Kith, the New York streetwear label built by Ronnie Fieg, sold a children's loungewear line under its Kith Kids brand: red-and-black plaid woven pajama sets with a long-sleeved collared top and matching pants, in sizes from 9-12 months to XL (14/16). About 130 sets were sold in Kith stores nationwide and online between December 2025 and January 2026 for roughly $75 each.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced in 2026 that Kith Retail Inc. was recalling the sets because the fabric failed the mandatory federal flammability standard for children's sleepwear — garments that ignite too easily and can cause serious burns near candles, stovetops, space heaters or fireplaces. Canada's recall authority issued a matching alert for the same 'Baby Kithmas' and 'Kids Kithmas' plaid lounge sets.

The remedy required customers to destroy the garments by cutting them in half, photograph the cut pieces, and email proof to Kith's recall address for a full refund. No injuries were reported in connection with the product before the recall.

The failure sat entirely within Kith's own compliance process: children's sleepwear flammability testing is a known, decades-old US requirement, and a streetwear label extending into a kidswear holiday line needed to clear that bar before shipping, not after a regulator caught it.
