Federal Regulators Recalling SHEIN Children’s Pajama Sets Could Expose Kids To Burn Injuries or Death

According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission recall notice, Sweet Cubby is recalling about 12,461 children’s loungewear sets because they violate the mandatory federal flammability standard for children’s sleepwear. The agency announced the recall on September 10, 2026. No injuries or incidents connected to the recalled clothing have been reported.

The SHEIN pajama recall involves two-piece Sweet Cubby sets that include a short-sleeved shirt and matching shorts. According to the CPSC, the sets were available in multiple colors and children’s sizes ranging from 5/6Y through 13/14Y. Consumers can identify the affected clothing by “Batch No.: 272779,” which is printed along with the size on the sewn-in neck label and seam label.

Per the CPSC recall notice, the loungewear was sold exclusively online through SHEIN.com from June 2025 through May 2026. Prices ranged from $8 to $12. The retailer listed in the federal recall is Hong Kong Xuheyuan Trading Co., Ltd., doing business as Sweet Cubby, and the products were manufactured in China.

Federal officials are telling families who own the recalled sets to stop using them immediately and keep them away from children. According to the CPSC, Sweet Cubby is offering full refunds, but consumers will be required to cut the clothing in half and email a photograph showing the destroyed product to SweetCubby@163.com before disposing of it.

The concern behind the SHEIN pajama recall goes beyond the possibility of clothing simply catching fire. According to CPSC guidance on children’s sleepwear, federal standards require covered sleepwear to meet flammability requirements designed to protect children from burns. The rules apply to products such as pajamas, robes, and certain loungewear intended primarily for sleeping or sleep-related activities. The agency says compliant sleepwear generally must be flame-resistant and capable of self-extinguishing unless it qualifies under specific exceptions, including certain tight-fitting garments.

The Sweet Cubby case is also not the first time children’s sleepwear sold through SHEIN has drawn federal attention for flammability concerns. In July 2021, the CPSC announced a recall involving about 2,320 SHEIN-branded children’s sleepwear sets after the products failed to meet federal flammability standards. Those sets had been sold online from August 2019 through January 2021, and no injuries were reported at the time of that recall.
