The Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS) is highlighting a range of unsafe Halloween products recalled this season.
The products, many of which are children’s costumes, have been recalled because of the risk to safety which ranges from flammability to cuts and choking. Anyone who has bought Halloween products should check this list.
Said OPSS Chief Executive Graham Russell:
These products are meant to be fun, so it’s vital we highlight those that could turn a celebration into a genuine Halloween nightmare. I am particularly concerned because so many of these Halloween products are aimed at young children including, in one case, a baby-grow outfit.
