Red Dot recalls Kids Cuddle Hoodie over fire safety labelling fault

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 14 Nov, 04:43 · Archive

Red Dot has recalled its Kids Cuddle Hoodie after the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission flagged a serious fire hazard caused by an incorrectly placed warning label. The fire hazard warning label has been sewn into the side seam instead of the required neck position, meaning consumers may not be aware the garment is flammable. If the hoodie comes into contact with a heat source or flame, it could catch fire and cause serious burn injuries.

Red Dot stated that the mislabelling 'means customers may not be aware of the risk of the garment catching fire if exposed to heat or flame, potentially resulting in serious burn injuries'. The retailer urged parents to keep the hoodie away from heat and flame.

Consumers are advised to stop using the hoodie immediately and store it away from any heat sources. Red Dot said anyone who purchased the product can get in contact with Red Dot Home directly to arrange a full refund.
