Matalan recalls mermaid, shark and unicorn hot water bottles over safety fears
MATALAN is recalling a range of hot water bottles over safety and quality fears.
The bottles come in the shape of unicorns, sharks, mermaids or feature different letters of the alphabet.
The retailer said it's urgently recalling the products because they don't meet their "high standards for quality and safety".
It told The Sun that the recall has been issued as a "precaution", although random testing found problems with a few of the bottles.
Matalan has so far refused to clarify what the issue is, but in 2015 a customer reported that her hot water bottle from the retailer burst.
If you've bought any of the products, Matalan is warning customers not to use them.
The products were sold between September 1 and November 19 and cost £8 each.
Matalan hasn't said how many of the items it's sold. We'll update this article if we hear back.
If you have any queries about the recall, you can contact Matalan's customer service by calling 0333 0044444 or sending an email to cs@matalanonline.co.uk.
A statement on Matalan's website said: "We pride ourselves on delivering great quality at great prices and we're really sorry for any inconvenience caused."
Matalan has also just launched a recall for Frozen jumpers due to fears toddlers could choke on parts of them.
While last year, Matalan recalled kids' hat and mittens due to fears they could cause a choking hazard for children.
The retailer's also been forced to recall hundreds of cushions over fears they are a fire risk.
