Ragdoll & Rockets Recalls Children’s Loungewear

Ragdoll & Rockets has recalled about 14,100 children’s loungewear due to violation of federal flammability standard.

The company said it has recalled the children’s loungewear as it fails to meet the flammability standards for children’s sleepwear, posing a risk of burn injuries to children.

The firm said it has not received any injury reports, however, asked consumers to immediately stop using the recalled loungewear, take it away from children and contact Ragdoll & Rockets for instructions on receiving a full refund.

The recall involves five styles of children’s 100 percent micro polyester fleece sleepwear. The recalled sleepwear was sold in sizes 2 through 6 and S through XL. The recalled styles include a one-piece, hooded and footed children’s onesie, pants with waistband drawstring, shorts, long-sleeved crew top and, ‘Cozy Baby Onesie”.

The recalled products were sold exclusively at children’s boutiques nationwide and online at www.ragdollandrockets.com from May 2018 through May 2019 for between $16 and $28.

Forever 21 could file for bankruptcy protection as early as Sunday, report says

Forever 21 Inc. could file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection as early as Sunday, the Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday.

The fashion retailer could also close some of its 700 stores, the Journal reported, citing unidentified people with knowledge of the plans.

Forever 21 did not immediately respond to USA TODAY’s request for comment.

Filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection often involves some store closures as retailers look to break leases on money-losing stores and slash loans. The goal is typically to create a reorganized, often smaller company that can get a new start.

According to a recent Bloomberg story, Forever 21 hired a team of advisers to help restructure its debt and has been in talks for additional financing, but negotiations with possible lenders have stalled.
