High street retailers Matalan and Next have issued an urgent recall for children's pyjamas following concerns over safety standards. The move comes after tests revealed the garments may pose a risk to young wearers.
Which Products Are Affected?
The recall affects specific lines of children's nightwear sold both in stores and online. Parents are being urged to check labels immediately if they've recently purchased pyjamas from either retailer.
What's the Safety Concern?
While neither company has specified the exact nature of the safety issue, product recalls of this nature typically relate to either flammability risks or the presence of harmful substances in the fabric.
What Should Customers Do?
Consumers who have purchased the affected products should:
- Stop using the pyjamas immediately
- Return them to any store for a full refund
- Contact customer services for further guidance
Both retailers have apologised for any inconvenience caused and stressed that customer safety remains their top priority.
Ongoing Investigation
Trading Standards officials are understood to be working with both companies to investigate how the potentially unsafe products reached the market. This marks another blow to the UK's retail sector which has faced increasing scrutiny over product safety in recent years.
