Waitrose, Next, and Matalan Issue Urgent Safety Warnings

Several retailers, including Waitrose, Next, and Matalan, are currently recalling products due to safety concerns. Customers are advised to check their purchases and take appropriate action if they own any of the affected items. Some recalls are due to undeclared allergens, while others involve children's clothing that poses potential injury risks.

Waitrose is recalling its Creamy Pesto Chicken Pasta (375g) because it contains mustard, which is not listed on the label. This poses a health risk to individuals with a mustard allergy. Customers with such allergies should not consume the product and return it to the store for a full refund.

Matalan has recalled specific bikini tops due to the risk of the underwire protruding and causing injury. Additionally, several Miss Summer children's clothing items have been recalled due to decorative draw cords that exceed safety standards, posing a strangulation and choking hazard. Customers who have purchased these items should return them to Matalan for a full refund.

An alert has been issued regarding counterfeit PopMart Labubu dolls sold in Scotland. These dolls present a choking hazard because small parts, such as the feet, hands, and eyes, can detach easily. The dolls lack required markings and labeling and do not meet safety regulations.

Next is also recalling children's clothing due to concerns about strangulation and choking hazards from cords. Customers who have purchased these items should return them for a full refund.

A supermarket has issued a product recall for Lilac and Sage George Ladies double buckle flatbed sandals due to the presence of nickel in the trims. The nickel levels may exceed permissible limits and cause skin reactions. Customers who have purchased these sandals in the affected colors and sizes should return them to the store for a full refund.
