The supermarket Asda has urgently recalled two clothing products for young children due to safety concerns about sharp edges.

Asda’s George Baby 3PK Zip Rompers (all sizes up to 24 months) were found to have zips with sharp edges that could lead to injury.

Customers are urged to stop using the product and return them to the nearest store for a full refund.

In the recall alert, Asda said: ‘George Baby 3PK Zip Rompers (all sizes up to 24 months) has been identified with a manufacturing issue. 

‘Some of the zips may contain sharp edges, which poses a risk of injury. This issue affects ALL sizes.’

The initial alert was issued last week after the manufacturing problem that could potentially result in injuries was found.

This warning comes days after a recall was issued for the supermarket’s George Stitch and Angel two-piece for sizes one year up to eight years.

It was found the cord length on some garments may be too long and pose a risk of injury, but the top in the two-piece set is unaffected.

If you purchased the product you are advised to return them to your nearest store where you will be given a full refund, no receipt needed.

In the recall alert, Asda said: ‘The George Stitch and Angel 2-piece set has been identified with a manufacturing issue on the cord length which on some garments may be too long and could pose a risk of injury. 

‘The top in this 2-piece set is unaffected. This issue affects ALL sizes.’

These two clothing product recalls come a week after another company issued an urgent recall.

Last week, a popular snack sold at Grape Tree was urgently recalled over fears it may be contaminated with a deadly bacteria linked to colon cancer.

The health food store stuck a ‘do not eat’ alert on batches of its raw unsalted macadamia nuts.

It was feared the sweet snack may contain traces of a rare strain of the diarrhoea-causing bug E.coli.

Known as Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC), the pathogen typically also causes a fever. In the majority of cases, symptoms fade naturally within days.

However, for vulnerable populations, the infection can get into the blood and travel to the organs, causing catastrophic damage.

Grape Tree said the recall only affected its 250g pack of the nuts, which have a best before date of July 11, 2026 and the batch code G41 5 101 250610.

The retailer added: ‘If you have bought Grape Tree Raw Unsalted Macadamia Nuts 250g, do not eat them.

The Food Standards Agency (FSA), which published the alert, issues recalls when problems are spotted with food that means it should not be sold.

It also said: ‘Point of sale notices will be displayed in stores where the product was sold.

‘These notices explain to customers why the product is being recalled and tell them what to do if they have bought the product.

‘For more information, please email info@grapetree.co.uk.’
