Matalan stressed that no receipt will be required to claim the refund. Matalan said: "It has come to our attention that the above boys' swim shorts do not meet our usual high standards for quality and safety, as there is a high possibility of entrapment and strangulation with the draw cord." The company also urged customers who bought the swimwear as gifts to inform others about the recall notice straight away. It added: "If you have bought the above for someone else or know someone who has one then please let them know immediately about this notice." Matalan apologised for the inconvenience caused to shoppers and confirmed that the recall does not affect any other products. The retailer added: "We pride ourselves on delivering great quality at great prices, and we're really sorry for any inconvenience caused."

Those with further queries can contact Matalan's Customer Care Team on 0333 0044444 or email customercareceo@ It comes after a popular children's swimming float was urgently recalled over fears it could cause serious injury or even drowning. The product, sold on Amazon, has been flagged as a safety risk. It came after authorities found that its attachable canopy could lift the float from the water in windy conditions, putting children in danger. The alert was issued in the UK following a border inspection. The blue and yellow sea-themed swim seat, intended for babies and toddlers, poses a 'serious risk of injuries', according to the Product Safety Report. If the float becomes airborne, a child could be thrown out and suffer an impact injury or drown.
