The pajamas were sold under the Schwab brand name, style "1170, Lot 953." Forty-two-and-a-half dozen pajamas were involved. The pajamas were 50 percent nylon and 50 percent polyester and came in two colors: pink with white dots and white lace trim and turquoise with white dots and white lace trim. The sleepwear sold in sizes small, medium and large, designated 1, 2, and 3, individually boxed, with each box bearing this label: "Flame Retardant Complies with Federal Stan'd. DOC FF 3-71."
