Additional Recall Notice for Children’s Clothing

In a related development, the CCPC has also announced a recall for several children’s clothing items sold by Jainco UK Limited on the Next Retail Limited website. The affected products include various dresses and outfits identified as posing a strangulation hazard due to excessively long decorative cords that do not meet safety standards.

The items affected are part of the Miss brand and include specific item numbers: F83773, F83782, F83775, F83781, and F85623. Approximately 11 products are involved in this recall, which impacts consumers in the Republic of Ireland.

Parents are urged to stop using these products immediately and keep them away from children. If any of these items have been given as gifts, recipients should also be informed to dispose of them safely.
