Fire Incidents Involving Sleepwear Worn by Children Ages 6-12
Sleepwear was the first fabric item ignited more frequently than any other item in over 1,900 fire incidents reported to the National Bureau of Standards Flammable Fabrics Accident Case and Testing System (FFACTS). Information acquired since promulgation of the current sleepwear flammability standard protecting children of ages 0-5 indicates a problem of comparable magnitude exists for children of ages 6-12. Of 316 incidents involving non-contaminated sleepwear that was first to ignite, about one-fourth involved children 0-5 years old and one-fourth involved children 6-12 years old. It is recommended that a new standard be issued covering sleepwear sizes 7 through 14 to effectively protect 6-12 year old children.
