The Mermaid Princess Dress recalled due to flammability hazard,
according to a notice issued November 6, 2026.
Health Canada has issued a nationwide recall for the children’s costume, citing a failure to meet mandatory safety requirements that could leave young wearers vulnerable to fire.
The garment poses a significant risk if exposed to open flames, such as candles, matches, or lighters. Officials warn that the material can ignite rapidly, placing children at the highest risk of injury. Fortunately, the agency confirmed that no injuries have been reported to date.
The dress fails to meet Canadian flammability standards for children’s costumes. Parents and caregivers must stop using the product immediately and ensure it is kept away from all heat sources. Once removed from use, the dress should be disposed of in a manner that prevents any future use.
