Matalan urgently recalls children's swimwear due to fear of 'strangulation'
Summer's on the horizon and families will be gearing up to possibly go off on holiday. For those with little ones, there has been an urgent warning regarding swimwear bought from Matalan. The high street retailer has said that it is "immediately recalling" three items from its boys' swimwear range, with fears that the items could cause a risk of "strangulation" and "entrapment." The products, which were on sale from January 12, 2025 to March 17, 2025, are as follows: Shark Rash Vest with Blue Shorts Set - B369646/647 Seersucker Swim Shorts - B369742/743 Boys Tie Dye Swim Shorts - B369750/751 A notice posted by the Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS) read: "The products present a risk of entrapment and strangulation due to the length of the functional draw cords. "The products do not meet the requirements of the General Product Safety Regulations 2005." Matalan said in its recall notice that the products do not meet their "usual high standards for quality and safety", and that customer safety is its "highest priority." As a result, customers are being urged not to use the products, but to instead return them at their earliest convenience to their nearest Matalan store. The firm has said that its staff members will be happy to provide a refund, even when a receipt is not provided during the return. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

It comes after multiple Tower Air Fryers were recalled last month after it was discovered that they posed a fire risk to users due to a "manufacturing defect." Four models of the kitchen gadget that were manufactured between January 2022 and April 2023 were affected, with the full details available to check out here. It's not just products and clothing that has been recalled recently, as a few food alerts have also been issued. Just last week, Iceland's Daily Bakery 4 Sub Rolls were pulled from shelves due to an undeclared ingredient. The popular bakery rolls, which featured the best before date of June 2, 2025, were found to contain barley, which could possibly cause a health risk for anyone with an allergy or intolerance to gluten.
