New labels
The government has recently reviewed the regulations for children's nightwear labelling and changes will be made to the labels. A survey, conducted as part of the review, found that there was some confusion in regards to what "Low Fire Danger" means. Some people thought a garment carrying a Low Fire Danger label meant it was "fire proof" – this is not the case. All clothing and fabrics will burn.
New requirements for labelling aim to provide a clearer message so you can make safer choices when purchasing children's nightwear and also so the fire risk isn't underestimated when children are near heaters or fires in their nightwear.
At the moment, category 1, 2 and 3 nightwear is labelled as "Low Fire Danger". For next winter new labelling will see categories 2 and 3 carry a warning explaining that the material is not heat or flame resistant and that the garment should be worn snug fitting to reduce risk.
