Halloween outfits recalled by Poundland

I just noticed this information on the BBC News website and wanted to alert anyone who might have bought any of the affected Halloween outfits in Poundland. (I've done a search and can't see that anyone has already posted this, but apologies if I've missed it).

Equally I don't want to get anyone in a panic, but better safe than sorry.

The affected items are a witches hat and playset, the "kids' Halloween pirate mask", and the "kids' Halloween mask and hood".

Here's a link to the BBC information http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/7697678.stm

I can't see anything on the Poundland website about it.

I thought this was perhaps the best board to post this on, but if it isn't could it pleased be moved to the right place.

    Oooh my son bought the 'scream' mask, i don't know if thats affected, does anyone know what the 'kids halloween mask and hood' is?......
  • You are ok with the scream mask. The mask with a hood was the rubbery one.

    didnt get any of the halloween stuff but if you look in the poundland window they have had loads of recalls lately and is always kids toys and such - i only notice this because I stand outside whilst missus runs round the store for stock cubes and cleaning stuff ect. Ive told her not to get anything for kids from there from now on - cheap untested tat that could be dangerous.
