Red Dot recalls children's hoodie over hidden fire hazard label

Red Dot recalls Kids Cuddle Hoodie after the ACCC found the fire hazard label sewn in the seam instead of the neck.

Parents are being urged to stop using the Kids Cuddle Hoodie after a serious labelling fault was flagged by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission. The fire hazard warning label has been sewn into the side seam instead of the required neck position, meaning parents may not spot the warning.

If the hoodie contacts heat or flame, it can catch fire and cause serious burn injuries. Red Dot has confirmed the recall and advised customers to keep the garment away from heat sources immediately.

Anyone who bought the hoodie can contact Red Dot Home directly for a full refund. Check your children's wardrobes now.
