Major supermarket issues safety alert over children's clothes due to terrifying injury risk
The supermarket Asda has urgently recalled two clothing products for young children due to safety concerns about sharp edges. Asda's George Baby 3PK Zip Rompers (all sizes up to 24 months) were found to have zips with sharp edges that could lead to injury. Customers are urged to stop using the product and return them to the nearest store for a full refund. In the recall alert, Asda said: 'George Baby 3PK Zip Rompers (all sizes up to 24 months) has been identified with a manufacturing issue. 'Some of the zips may contain sharp edges, which poses a risk of injury. This issue affects ALL sizes.' The initial alert was issued last week after the manufacturing problem that could potentially result in injuries was found. This warning comes days after a recall was issued for the supermarket's George Stitch and Angel two-piece for sizes one year up to eight years. It was found the cord length on some garments may be too long and pose a risk of injury, but the top in the two-piece set is unaffected. If you purchased the product you are advised to return them to your nearest store where you will be given a full refund, no receipt needed. In the recall alert, Asda said: 'The George Stitch and Angel 2-piece set has been identified with a manufacturing issue on the cord length which on some garments may be too long and could pose a risk of injury. 'The top in this 2-piece set is unaffected. This issue affects ALL sizes.' These two clothing product recalls come a week after another company issued an urgent recall. Last week, a popular snack sold at Grape Tree was urgently recalled over fears it may be contaminated with a deadly bacteria linked to colon cancer. The health food store stuck a 'do not eat' alert on batches of its raw unsalted macadamia nuts. It was feared the sweet snack may contain traces of a rare strain of the diarrhoea-causing bug Known as Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC), the pathogen typically also causes a fever. In the majority of cases, symptoms fade naturally within days. However, for vulnerable populations, the infection can get into the blood and travel to the organs, causing catastrophic damage. Grape Tree said the recall only affected its 250g pack of the nuts, which have a best before date of July 11, 2026 and the batch code G41 5 101 250610. The retailer added: 'If you have bought Grape Tree Raw Unsalted Macadamia Nuts 250g, do not eat them. The Food Standards Agency (FSA), which published the alert, issues recalls when problems are spotted with food that means it should not be sold. It also said: 'Point of sale notices will be displayed in stores where the product was sold. 'These notices explain to customers why the product is being recalled and tell them what to do if they have bought the product.

Would recommend!" 8 must-have plants to brighten up your garden Nick Hamilton owner of Tricyrtis A spectacular plant that gives a real exotic feel to any garden with its orchid-like, spotted flowers giving the impression that this plant should be tender but it is 'as tough as old boots!'. Penstemon I love this plants genus of because most will flower all summer and autumn. They'll grow in sun or semi-shade in a well drained soil and produce a non-stop display of tubular flowers in an array of colours and colour combination to suit all tastes. Luzula sylvatica 'Marginata' With the evergreen leaves edged with yellow it's great asset is that it will grow in sun or shade in any type of soil and is great as groundcover in the hardest spot to fill - dry shade. Eryngium x zabelii 'Big Blue' A stunning, nectar-rich plant that will feed the beneficial insects in your garden. Leave the flowerheads once they have turned brown because they look stunning with winter frost and snow, extending the plant's interest period. Sarcococca hookeriana 'Winter Gem' If you need winter scent then look no further than this compact, evergreen shrub. The scent is stunning and the evergreen leaves create an excellent backdrop for the summer flowers. Cornus sanguinea 'Anny's Winter Orange' A dwarf version of 'Midwinter Fire' the very colourful stems create a stunning winter display, particularly on sunny days. Rosa 'Noisette Carnee' A very well-behaved climbing rose that is perfect for training over an arch, pergola or gazebo. The small, 'noisette' flowers are blush-pink and produce the most amazing clove scent constantly from June to November. Sanguisorba hakusanensis 'Lilac Squirrel' I've never seen a squirrel with a drooping, shaggy lilac tail, but this variety will give your garden an unusual and different look throughout summer. It does need a moisture retentive soil but will grow in sun or semi-shade. "A brilliant outdoor garden seating set which was great value for money," another gushed. "Comfortable and good quality, it was perfect for a patio area at the top of my garden for catching the sun and enjoying summer." As someone else wrote: "I visited a friend who I hadn't seen for ages and commented on her garden furniture. "Went home, looked up this set on the Asda website and asked my husband if we could buy it saying it's really comfortable and not too expensive. "It arrived and we are very pleased. Skip forward a couple of weeks, we had some friends round who love the set and were looking at garden furniture they are now the proud owners of two sets in black. "They really liked ours!" However, other people commenting on Kelly's post admitted they'd been able to find the same, or incredibly similar, sets in other places for less than £139. "Tesco doing for £99 too," one wrote. "Lovely set!" "They have the black version in The Range. It's down to £79.99," another said. As a third commented: "I got exactly the same set last year - £20 in the end of season sale." 4 The supermarket is known for its epic bargains Credit: Getty
