Matalan urgently recalls £12 children's clothing over ‘risk of being strangled' & warns ‘stop using immediately'
MATALAN have urgently recalled three children's clothes products over a "risk of being strangled". The British retailer made the decision after deciding that a number of boy's swim shorts posed a serious risk to kids. The recall affects the blue shark rash vest and shorts worth £12 on the website at the time of writing. The other two products recalled were the seersucker swimshorts in blue and the boys tie dye swimshorts. Parents were urged to take the faulty items away from little ones and return them "immediately" to a Matalan store. All three products could cause entrapment and strangulation, warned the retailer. 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." The Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS) also issued an alert to British shoppers regarding the recall. 'Contaminated' Costco snack recalled as 'small pieces of wood' are found inside it – eight products are affected The Government department explained that the dangerous swimwear fails to meet General Product Safety Regulations 2005 due to the excessive length of functional draw cords in the garments. Officials also emphasised that shoppers should stop using the products right away. 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.

Officine Générale Resort 2026 Menswear Collection
Inside the cool, calm, vaulted spaces of the Officine Générale showroom on the Left Bank, one could almost forget the turbulence of the outside world, if only momentarily. Though every brand in fashion may feel, rightly, like a punching ball right now, Pierre Mahéo figures the best tactic for uncertain times is focusing on quality. For spring, he concentrated on the nonchalant yet polished looks that are Officine Generale's hallmark, in materials like textured dobby seersucker in soft yellow or black, the lightest cashmere he has yet produced, or a wool-linen-silk blend that is among the brand's most elevated offerings to date. 'It's really a question of comfort and attitude,' the designer said of the rounded shapes and drop-shoulder sleeves. 'That lightness and suppleness is what we all really need right now.' Daily Classics—an edit of essentials in knit, denim, jersey, or fresco wool for men and women—kept company with seasonal statements like a hybrid shirt-jacket that Mahéo sees as 'an expensive shirt or a not-so-expensive jacket,' cut in wool-silk-cotton. Also sharp-looking was a zip-up work jacket in gray cotton lyocell; both came with easy, tailored drawstring trousers. Slipped over cashmere or light wool-Tencel knit t-shirts, softly structured work jackets in dove gray or tobacco suede looked like the kind of pieces that could last forever. The women's lineup likewise focused on refined yet relaxed silhouettes, in rich materials like linen, cotton-cashmere blends, brushed poplin, and Japanese textiles. A subtle material play appeared in a three-piece suit and breezy popover that, while it renders beige in these images, is cut in a flecked linen of a dozen different hues; a blurred optical print brought added interest. Strong seasonal statements included an oyster-colored suit in silky, matte Japanese cupro, a rounded bomber with ribbed leather cuffs and collar, and a bustier with a fold-down detail in front. Raw edges and asymmetrical details gave some silhouettes an extra shot of interest; a jacket from the archives—a favorite of Mahéo's wife, Nina—with a tuxedo lapel on one side and a suit lapel on the other, now revisited in black, was a standout. That piece alone neatly embodied the art of Parisian style: chic, slightly offbeat, and ever so subtly sassy.
