Popular children's cup sold at Matalan for £3 urgently recalled over ‘risk of eye injury'
A POPULAR children's cup sold at Matalan for £3 has urgently been recalled as it poses a "risk of eye injury". Matalan has recalled its Blue Easter Tumbler Cup with Straw over safety fears, warning it could pose a serious risk to children. The £3 cup features a bunny wearing sunglasses, with ears sticking out from the lid. It poses an injury risk, as users could accidentally be poked in the eye by the pointed ears. The sought-after Matalan cup does not meet the requirements of the General Product Safety Regulations 2005, according to the government's website. Shoppers who bought the Bunny Tumbler with Straw are urged to stop using it immediately and return it to their nearest Matalan store for a full refund. Those with further queries can contact Matalan's Customer Care Team on 0333 0044444 or email customercareceo@ It comes after the retail giant urgently recalled three children's clothing products over a "risk of being strangled". Matalan 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.

Matalan stressed that no receipt will be required to claim the refund.

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."

Luxury men's swim shorts to shop for 2025
Whether you're team tight trunks, into baggy surfer-style silhouettes or in the market for a carefully constructed pair so tailored they barely look like swimmers at all, there's a pair of designer swim shorts out there for every kind of man. Keep scrolling for our curated list of trusted luxury men's swim shorts to shop now. • This article contains affiliate links that can earn us revenue Sponsored Adam Brown was at a friend's birthday party and was turned away from the restaurant due to having ill-fitting, wet swimming trunks. He conceived Orlebar Brown at that moment and made it his mission to create a polished short that you could also swim in, so no other man would commit the same fashion faux pas. The Chanel-owned brand's classic shorts are still their best seller after almost 20 years. They are inspired by the pattern of a traditional men's trouser, made from recycled plastic and guaranteed for five years. Founded in 2007 by Marco Baldassari and Paolo Zuntini, Eleventy is an Italian 'smart luxury' brand aiming to define modern luxury as a piece that does not shout but is simply noticed. Born in Milan, the collection of timeless tailoring and louche knits feel summery without being overtly resortwear. All its men's swim shorts are available in a colour palette of blues, creams and subtle, sophisticated prints. Inspired by baggier silhouettes spotted on surfers in California, Fred Prysquel, a Formula 1 reporter, and his wife, Yvette, a fashion designer and expert pattern cutter, shook up the 1970s French Riviera with their first Moorea trunks — which differed hugely from the skimpy and fitted, Speedo shorts of the time. Still rooted to St Tropez but now with over 150 stores globally, the brand's playful, tongue and cheek prints and extensive collections have made it a stalwart name when it comes to men's swimwear. Known for its considered cuts and exceptional fabrics, Zegna's swimwear offering is one of the smartest on the market. While the Italian luxury brand offers traditional drawstring shorts crafted from airy seersucker fabrics, other beachwear from the brand leans to a more classically tailored approach with structured silhouettes, adjustable side fasteners and earth-toned colour palettes. Not all luxury cashmere brands also offer beautiful beachwear, but the Italian house Brunello Cucinelli is proudly providing both. Its modus operandi, as always, is casual yet chic — items that exude smartness and sophistication in an understated fashion. Expect nautical-inspired colourways, classic cuts and wearable silhouettes with in-built mesh to keep you comfortable, whether swimming or simply holidaying. Another heritage Italian brand putting craftsmanship front and centre is Fedeli. With its roots in fine tailoring and a commitment to sustainability, for the past five years the label has been developing a swimwear collection using recycled polyesters that only takes about 90 seconds to dry. Being more sustainable hasn't meant scrimping on functional design, though — each piece features comfortable, adjustable drawstring waists. Rooted in the spirit of Rio de Janeiro, and the easy-going lifestyle and artistic flair of the Carioca that reside there, and inspired by the traditional Brazilian beach sport of frescobol, this luxury swim short brand offers relaxed fits and functional details. All the vibrant prints and designs are bespoke to Frescobol Carioca and each piece is made using a resin to protect the product from seawater and sand damage. Prepare to be transported back to schoolboy days by Thom Browne's summer collection. There's preppy polos, polished sports ties, boat shoes and rugby jerseys all finished with the brand's signature four stripes. Staying true to its commitment to be a modern uniform, Thom Browne's swimwear collection is carefully curated, which should make it far easier to choose — opt for a pyjama-like pinstripe short-short or just above the knee board style.
