Parents doing a quick pajama run at Meijer might want to hit pause. The retailer is recalling about 211,520 one-piece, footed toddler sleepwear garments after tests showed they do not meet federal flammability standards, creating a potential burn hazard. The recall covers sizes 12, 18 and 24 months sold under the MCS and Lullaby Lane labels, and Meijer says customers can get full refunds at in-store customer-service desks.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission made it official on Feb. 19, 2026, posting recall number 26-275 along with the estimated unit count and affected styles. The agency also notes there have been no reported injuries and provides step-by-step details on how to identify the problem garments, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

Meijer first flagged the issue months earlier, announcing a voluntary recall in October 2025. At the time, the company said some production garments “were not fully tested against the correct size flammability standards” and framed the move as an abundance-of-caution step. The retailer's newsroom post spells out the affected toddler sizes, explains how refunds work and links customers to a detailed impacted SKU list, as described by Meijer.

How to Tell if Your Child's Sleepwear Is on the List

To see if your kid's sleepers are part of the recall, start with the sewn-in side-seam label, where the style number is printed. The brand name and size are printed near the neck. The CPSC lists specific style numbers for both MCS and Lullaby Lane pieces. Examples include MCS 7903815, 7903816 and 7903824, and Lullaby Lane 7904011, 7904012 and 7905217; if a garment matches, stop using it and return it for a refund, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

Why the Flammability Rules Matter

Federal rules are pretty clear on kids’ sleepwear. Most garments for children over 9 months must either be flame resistant or cut tight to the body, and manufacturers are required to test both prototypes and production runs under regulations in 16 CFR parts 1615 and 1616. The idea is straightforward: sleepwear should self-extinguish when exposed to small open flames, which significantly lowers the risk of serious burn injuries, as laid out in 16 CFR Part 1615.

Refunds and Where to Get Help

Anyone who finds a matching style number is urged to stop using the sleepwear immediately and return it to any Meijer store for a full refund. The company has set up a recall page and a customer phone line for questions on its site. Meijer also lists all impacted SKUs and customer-service contact details in its recall notice so shoppers can double-check specific products, as noted by Meijer.
