Over 25,000 unsafe Halloween costumes and toys have been pulled from the Irish market, according to a recent warning from the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC). As Halloween approaches, the CCPC urges parents to stay vigilant when buying costumes and toys for their children.
Why the Recall?
The CCPC identified a range of safety risks among the removed products, including flammability hazards, choking dangers, and toxic materials. These unsafe items were found in various stores across Ireland just ahead of Halloween festivities. The commission’s swift action aims to prevent potential accidents and injuries among children.
What Should Parents Do?
Parents should always check for CE markings and clear safety labels on costumes and toys. Avoid buying products from unreliable sources or those with missing safety information. If you have already purchased any suspicious items, return them to the retailer immediately.
Stay Safe This Halloween
By staying informed and cautious, you can help ensure your children enjoy a fun and safe Halloween. For more details on the CCPC’s safety warning and a list of recalled items, visit the official news coverage below.
