Hazard
The product has been identified as presenting a risk of entrapment as the zip pullers measure 8.5cm and 8cm, with the lower zip puller hanging below the hem. This exceeds the zip puller limit in the relevant standard which are not permitted on garments intended for young children if they are longer than 7.5cm in length from the zip slider, as a young child may become entrapped, such as by playground equipment, leading to strangulation, or by moving vehicles such as bus doors and bicycles, resulting in dragging or being run over by the vehicle.
The product does not meet the requirements of the General Product Safety Regulations 2005 or the relevant standard, BS EN 14682:2014
Corrective action
The product has been recalled from end users by M&M Direct.
