Babys at 5 months love to eat there feet and with these socks the baby will get all the fluff in the mouth.

I doubt its worth reporting it to ladybird i doubt they care.

All socks can quite easily do this, just use some sellotape to remove the loose fluff

DelBoyPhil

yes but if we was to do this there would be no fluff left.

deanos

Dont be silly it just gets rid of the loose fluff

I doubt that there is any health risk, and the problem can probably be solved by giving the socks a wash first...something that is wise to do with all baby clothes as you never really know what or who the clothes have come into contact with prior to purchase.

Is the fabric actually coming off the sock leaving a kind of "tights" effect where fabric used to be? I had a problem like this with socks I bought that had been made in Turkey. Was just a nuisance for me and avoid them in future but if thats whats happening with your baby then I'd be worried too. If you really believe they present a risk to baby try a call to trading standards at your local council. If it needs taking further they'll do it and probably be listened to more than you might be.

Thank;s for pointing out OP, although I dnt have a baby I wanted to say @ 5 months my DD only wore socks for going out in so did not have this problem.

Its best to check sock b4 you buy though

I agree you should always wash baby clothes before letting the baby wear them...not so much for them having come into contact with other people but because fabrics are usually treated with chemical dressing compounds to help keep them looking starched and fresh on the hanger or in the packet. These can give babies all sorts of itchy rashes. Best to wash it all out first with a good non-bio powder.

I used to work in a kids clothing department and I recommend washing before wear the state some stuff came to our store in with bird poo on, damp from being in a warehouse and not to mention that it could have been tried on by someone else or even purchased & then returned, or even just dropped on shop floor etc.. you dont know where the clothes have been!!
