Wohali Outdoors Recalls Children's Sleepwear Due to Violation of Federal Flammability Standard; Sold Exclusively at Bass Pro Shops

What was recalled

The Consumer Product Safety Commission has issued a recall for specific children’s sleepwear sets manufactured by Wohali Outdoors. These items were sold exclusively at Bass Pro Shops stores and cannot be found in other retail locations. The recall, which was announced on December 21, 2017, targets three-piece pajama sets designed for young children. Each set is composed of a printed long-sleeve shirt, matching pants, and a coordinating solid-color robe. The fabric used throughout these garments is 100 percent polyester. The designs feature various prints on the tops and bottoms, while the accompanying robes are solid colors with lapels and cuffs that match the print pattern of the shirt and pants.

To identify whether you have one of the recalled items, you must look closely at the labels sewn into the garments. All sets include a printed label located on the back of the neck of both the long-sleeve shirt and the robe, which clearly displays “BASS PRO SHOPS.” Additionally, each garment has a sewn-in side label that includes the Registered Identification Number (RN) 74747. Directly underneath this RN number is another sewn-in label containing the Purchase Order (PO) number, which will be either 3515 or 3516, along with a specific style number and the contact phone number 1-800-BASS PRO.

The recall applies only to sleepwear sets that match one of the following style numbers and descriptions. If your item does not have one of these specific style numbers or PO labels, it is not part of this recall:

• Style Number 6904536 (Deer Camo): Features a pink print top and bottom with a solid pink robe that has pink print lapels and cuffs.
• Style Number 6904537 (Pretty Pony): Features a pink print top and bottom with a solid purple robe that has pink print lapels and cuffs.
• Style Number 6904538 (Woodland Critters): Features a white print top and bottom with a solid pink (coral) robe that has white print lapels and cuffs.
• Style Number 6904539 (Holiday Critters): Features a cream print top and bottom with a solid red robe that has cream print lapels and cuffs.
• Style Number 6904540 (Deer Camo): Features a tan print top and bottom with a solid brown robe that has tan print lapels and cuffs.
• Style Number 6904541 (Holiday Moose): Features a gray print top and bottom with a solid dark gray robe that has gray print lapels and cuffs.
• Style Number 6904542 (Wolf): Features a green print top and bottom with a solid green robe that has green print lapels and cuffs.
• Style Number 6904543 (Bear): Features a gray print top and bottom with a solid gray robe that has gray print lapels and cuffs.

While the exact number of units sold is not specified in the current records, the scope of the recall is limited to these specific style numbers and purchase order combinations. If you purchased these items at Bass Pro Shops during or before the date of this announcement, please verify your tags immediately against the list above.

The hazard, explained

Children’s sleepwear is subject to some of the most rigorous safety standards in the consumer goods industry because the risk profile is unique and severe. The core issue with the recalled Wohali Outdoors pajama sets lies in their failure to meet the federal flammability standard for children’s sleepwear. To understand why this matters, it helps to look at what physically happens when non-compliant fabric encounters a common household ignition source, such as a lit candle, a space heater, or even static electricity.

Federal regulations require that certain types of children’s sleepwear be inherently flame-resistant or fit so tightly to the body that there is insufficient oxygen between the garment and the skin to sustain combustion. The recalled items are described as 100 percent polyester. While polyester is a durable and common fabric, standard polyester without specific chemical treatments or tight-weave construction designed for flame resistance can behave dangerously when exposed to fire. Instead of self-extinguishing quickly like compliant sleepwear should, these fabrics can melt, drip, or continue to burn vigorously once ignited.

This creates a dual threat for a child during the vulnerable hours of sleep. First, the speed of ignition is a critical factor. If the material catches fire, it may do so rapidly, leaving little time for a child or parent to react. Second, and perhaps more insidiously is the potential for the fabric to melt onto the skin. When synthetic fibers like untreated polyester melt, they adhere to the body rather than falling away. This can cause severe, deep-tissue burns that are significantly more painful and difficult to treat than surface-level flame burns. The heat transfer from the burning or melting fabric continues as long as it remains in contact with the child, exacerbating the injury.

The hazard is not theoretical; it is a direct consequence of material science. Sleepwear that does not meet these standards lacks the necessary chemical retardants or physical properties to stop the chain reaction of combustion. In a typical bedroom environment, where flammable items like curtains, bedding, and nightlights are often nearby, the margin for error is slim. A single spark or brief contact with a heat source can turn ordinary pajamas into a serious burn hazard. This is why the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) enforces these standards so strictly: the goal is to ensure that if a fire does start, the garment itself does not become the primary driver of severe injury. The recalled sets, lacking this critical safety feature, pose a tangible risk of burn injuries to the children who wear them, particularly because sleepwear is worn for extended periods in close proximity to potential heat sources.

Who is most at risk

The primary group at risk in this recall consists of young children who have been given or are wearing the recalled Wohali Outdoors three-piece pajama sets. Because these garments were sold exclusively at Bass Pro Shops and marketed as children’s sleepwear, the intended users are naturally kids. However, not all children face the same level of danger when it comes to clothing flammability, and understanding who is most vulnerable can help parents and caregivers prioritize their safety checks.

Infants and toddlers, particularly those under the age of nine, are generally considered the most susceptible to severe burn injuries from sleepwear violations. This is not because they are more likely to catch fire than older children or adults, but rather because of how they interact with heat sources and their physiological response to burns. Young children often spend significant time near family living areas where open flames might exist, such as fireplaces or candles used during the winter months when these items were sold. Furthermore, their skin is thinner and more delicate than that of adults. A burn that might cause minor discomfort to an adult can result in deep, serious tissue damage to a child, leading to longer recovery times, potential scarring, and greater medical complications.

Another critical factor is the behavior typical of young children during sleep or rest. They are less aware of their surroundings and may inadvertently brush against warm surfaces, such as radiators, space heaters, or even hot bedding if used improperly. Because the recalled pajamas fail to meet federal flammability standards, they ignite more easily and burn faster than compliant garments. This increased ignition risk means that a simple spark or brief contact with a heat source could lead to rapid flame spread across the fabric, which is especially dangerous for small bodies with less surface area to dissipate heat.

Additionally, while the recall notice does not report any specific incidents of injury, the potential for harm is highest among children who are mobile but lack the cognitive ability to quickly remove burning clothing or seek help. Toddlers and preschoolers may panic or freeze when fabric catches fire, delaying critical first aid actions like stopping, dropping, and rolling. Older children and teenagers, while still at risk, generally have thicker skin and better reflexes to react to sudden heat or flames. Nevertheless, no child should wear non-compliant sleepwear, as the standard exists specifically to protect the most vulnerable among us—those who cannot always protect themselves from everyday household hazards.

It is also worth noting that any caregiver responsible for these children shares in the risk by extension. If a child suffers a burn injury due to flammable pajamas, the emotional and financial toll on the family can be profound. Therefore, while the direct physical risk falls on the child, the broader impact affects parents, guardians, and anyone involved in the child’s care. Checking the style numbers and labels immediately is a crucial step in protecting not just the wearer, but the entire household’s peace of mind.

How to tell if you have the recalled item

Because this recall involves specific inventory from Bass Pro Shops, identifying the affected pajama sets requires a close look at both the garment’s design and its internal labeling. The items in question are three-piece children’s sleepwear sets manufactured by Wohali Outdoors. Each set is composed of 100 percent polyester and includes a long-sleeve shirt with a printed pattern, matching pants, and a coordinating solid-color robe. The robe features lapels and cuffs that match the print on the shirt and pants. To confirm whether your item is part of this recall, you must verify two critical pieces of information: the style number and the Purchase Order (PO) number.

The most reliable way to identify the recalled sets is by checking the sewn-in labels inside the garments. On the back of the neck of both the long-sleeve shirt and the robe, you will find a printed label that clearly says “BASS PRO SHOPS.” However, the style number is not located there. Instead, look for a sewn-in side label on any of the three pieces (shirt, pants, or robe). This label will display an “RN number 74747.” Directly underneath this RN number, you will find another sewn-in label containing the PO number, which will be either 3515 or 3516. It is crucial to note that only sleepwear with a style number listed below AND a label identifying PO# 3515 or 3516 is included in this recall. If your set lacks these specific PO numbers, it is not part of this safety notice.

If your item has the correct PO numbers, check the style number against the following list to determine if your specific design is affected:

• Style 6904536: Deer Camo pattern with a pink print top and bottom, paired with a solid pink robe that has pink print lapels and cuffs.
• Style 6904537: Pretty Pony pattern with a pink print top and bottom, paired with a solid purple robe that has pink print lapels and cuffs.
• Style 6904538: Woodland Critters pattern with a white print top and bottom, paired with a solid pink (coral) robe that has white print lapels and cuffs.
• Style 6904539: Holiday Critters pattern with a cream print top and bottom, paired with a solid red robe that has cream print lapels and cuffs.
• Style 6904540: Deer Camo pattern with a tan print top and bottom, paired with a solid brown robe that has tan print lapels and cuffs.
• Style 6904541: Holiday Moose pattern with a gray print top and bottom, paired with a solid dark gray robe that has gray print lapels and cuffs.
• Style 6904542: Wolf pattern with a green print top and bottom, paired with a solid green robe that has green print lapels and cuffs.
• Style 6904543: Bear pattern with a gray print top and bottom, paired with a solid gray robe that has gray print lapels and cuffs.

These sets were sold exclusively at Bass Pro Shops. If you purchased similar pajamas from a different retailer or online marketplace not affiliated with Bass Pro Shops, they are likely not part of this specific recall. However, if you bought them from Bass Pro Shops, carefully inspect the side labels as described above. The presence of RN 74747 combined with PO# 3515 or 3516 and one of the eight style numbers listed confirms that your item is included in this safety alert.

What to do — step by step

Your refund, repair, or replacement options

If you have determined that you possess one of the recalled Wohali Outdoors children’s sleepwear sets, the good news is that the company has established a straightforward and consumer-friendly remedy to resolve the issue. Because the pajama sets fail to meet federal flammability standards, they cannot be repaired or altered to become safe for use. Therefore, the only option available is a complete return of the product in exchange for compensation. Wohali Outdoors is offering a full refund for all recalled items. However, it is important to note the specific form this refund will take: you will receive a Bass Pro Shops gift card rather than a direct cash refund or a credit back to your original payment method. This is because the products were sold exclusively through Bass Pro Shops, and the return process is coordinated through that retail partner.

To initiate the refund process, you must contact Wohali Outdoors directly. They have set up a dedicated customer service team to handle these returns efficiently. You can reach them by calling their toll-free number at 833-282-0442. Their representatives are available to assist you from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Central Time, Monday through Friday. If you prefer written communication or would like to have a record of your inquiry, you may also email them at cs@wohalioutdoors.com. When you contact them, be prepared to provide the style number and purchase order number found on the garment’s labels to verify that your specific item is part of this recall.

Once you have contacted Wohali Outdoors, the next step involves returning the physical product. The company will provide you with a pre-paid shipping label. This is a significant convenience, as it means you do not have to pay for postage or packaging materials to send the pajama sets back. You simply need to package the items securely and attach the provided label before dropping them off at the designated carrier location. This step ensures that the return process is as low-friction as possible for consumers who are already concerned about their child’s safety.

The "why" behind this specific remedy structure lies in the exclusive sales channel of the product. Since these three-piece pajama sets, which include a printed long-sleeve shirt, pants, and a coordinating robe, were sold only at Bass Pro Shops, the financial restitution is issued in the form of a gift card for that retailer. While some consumers might prefer cash, receiving a gift card ensures that the funds remain within the ecosystem where the product was originally purchased. It is crucial to act promptly upon receiving your instructions. Do not store the recalled pajamas in your home while waiting for further updates; immediately take them away from children and follow the return steps provided by Wohali Outdoors to complete the exchange.

What can happen if you ignore it

When a recall notice arrives in your mailbox or inbox, it is natural to feel overwhelmed. Between the logistics of packing a return and the inconvenience of finding a replacement, the immediate urge is often to put the matter aside for later. However, with children’s sleepwear that fails federal flammability standards, delaying action is not merely an administrative oversight; it is a direct safety risk. The core issue here is not just about violating a rulebook, but about how fabric behaves when exposed to common household ignition sources during the most vulnerable hours of the day.

The specific hazard identified in this recall is that the polyester pajama sets do not meet the necessary burn resistance requirements for children’s sleepwear. In plain terms, standard flammable fabrics ignite easily and burn rapidly once they catch fire. While a piece of clothing might only be touched by a small flame for a second, normal flammable fabric can turn into a roaring inferno in mere seconds. For an adult, this is terrifying but manageable. For a child, the consequences are far more severe. Children’s skin is thinner and more sensitive than adults’, meaning burns from flammable fabrics are often deeper and more painful at a smaller surface area exposure. If these pajamas were to come into contact with a heat source—such as a lit candle on a nightstand, an open fireplace hearth where embers might jump, or even the intense heat of a space heater placed too close—the fabric could ignite almost instantly.

The reality of ignoring this recall is that you are leaving your child unprotected against these everyday dangers. While the CPSC reports no incidents for this specific batch to date, the absence of reported injuries does not mean the risk is absent; it simply means a tragedy has not yet occurred. The danger lies in the unpredictability of nighttime routines. A dropped match, a spark from a fireplace, or a child’s curiosity with a lighter can create a scenario where seconds matter. If the fabric burns quickly, it can wrap around a child’s limbs or torso before they even have time to realize something is wrong or to react by pulling away. This rapid propagation of fire significantly increases the likelihood of serious burn injuries, which can lead to long-term physical scarring, psychological trauma, and extensive medical treatment.

Furthermore, relying on the hope that "it won't happen to me" is a dangerous gamble when the product in question was explicitly designed and tested to fail safety benchmarks. The federal standards exist precisely because the risk of rapid ignition is real and measurable. By continuing to let your child wear these sets, you are bypassing the protective barrier that the government mandates for all sleepwear sold in the United States. You are essentially trading your child’s physical safety for the minor inconvenience of processing a refund. The potential cost of that trade-off—permanent injury or worse—is far too high to ignore. Taking the time to return these items is not just about getting a gift card; it is about ensuring that the clothes on your child’s back provide genuine protection, not a hidden hazard.
