HIGH Street retailer Matalan has urgently recalled popular summer clothing items over fears customers could be injured.
Customers are asked to return their orders if they have any of the seven items.
Matalan issued the warning after it discovered that seven types of bikini tops had serious defects.
The underwire may stick out and cause “scratches or cuts” to the customer.
The warning reads: “Hazard: The products present a risk of injuries as the underwiring can protrude during use.”
They were on sale from between November 14, 2024 and June 25 this year.
They include various Spring Mainstream items, Navy Floral Cupped, MS DD Bikini Top Multi, Mainstream Postcard DD and Mainstream Postcard UW.
A warning read: “The products present a risk of injuries as the underwiring can protrude during use.
“This may result in the user receiving scratches or cuts to the skin.
“The products do not meet the requirements of the General Product Safety Regulations 2005.
“If you have purchased any of the affected bikini tops, please stop using it immediately and return it to your nearest Matalan store for a full refund. You will not need to produce a receipt.”
It comes after Matalan urgently recalled kids’ summer dresses over strangulation fears.
The selection of outfits has been pulled from stores after it was discovered that the decorative draw cords were too long.
According to the Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS), the ‘Miss Summer ‘ garments present “risks of strangulation, entrapment or choking”.
As well as dresses, a shorts and vest combo was also taken off rails in stores across the country.
