Compliance Verification Project 2021-2022: Children’s Sleepwear Regulations
Fiscal Year 2021-2022
Summary
The Consumer Product Safety Program (CPSP) administers and enforces the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act and its regulations.
The purpose of this Compliance Verification (CV) project was to verify industry's compliance of children's sleepwear with the requirements of the Children's Sleepwear Regulations.
For this project, compliance of select children's sleepwear with the Children's Sleepwear Regulations was determined through a sampling and testing process by which Health Canada inspectors sampled relevant products from online establishments. Compliance with the requirements listed under the Regulations was then verified through testing at the Product Safety Laboratory.
Prior to initiating inspections, the CPSP carried out a market survey to determine the presence of children's sleepwear companies in Canada. Targets were then selected from that list of companies.
Over the course of the 2021 to 2022 fiscal year, chemical and flammability testing of 19 different products was carried out. The flammability testing resulted in 1 advisory, 9 recalls, and the chemical testing resulted in 2 stop distributions. There were 7 instances in which no corrective action was required.

Disclaimer: Inspectors apply a systematic bias during the selection of establishments and samples. Inspectors do not select products randomly; instead, they select the ones that are more likely not to meet health and safety requirements due to observed characteristics. Due to this biased nature of sampling and the fact that sample sizes within CV projects are very small, Health Canada does not consider the findings of CV projects to reflect overall market compliance, unless otherwise stated. Note that these summary reports relate only to the product(s) actually tested and the specific criteria measured in this project. Testing by Health Canada does not represent approval or endorsement of the product(s).
