ALERT: Children's costume from Temu recalled due to 'chemical safety issue'
The decision was announced by the CCPC
A children's fancy dress costume sold on Temu has been recalled due to a "chemical safety issue" identified by Ireland's Competition and Consumer Protection Commission.
The Roman costume contains chromium (VI), which has been detected to be migrating from the textile label, and can cause adverse health effects in children.
Chromium (VI) is a highly toxic, carcinogenic chemical that is generally used in pigment manufacturing, among other processes.
It is sensitising, meaning if exposed to it, it can make people more sensitive to physical, emotional, or chemical things.
The model number of the affected costumes is C2024001 and the batch number is 0002.
The Identification number, which is accessible on the package is 42777357081.
There are approximately two affected products in the Republic of Ireland.
If you are affected, you should stop using the product immediately and keep it out of the reach of children.
Temu has contacted affected consumers regarding this recall on behalf of the seller and assisted them with the refund process.
If you have not received a refund or have further questions or concerns about this product, contact Temu’s Dedicated Customer Service team.
