    At least one of the highlighted sellers is a registered business. While the individual sellers, abhorrent though their actions may be can hide behind caveat emptor if there was a problem with one of these items the business seller would not have the same protection and could be looking at the very least at a visit from trading standards.

    Actually, I wonder if trading standards might be a good idea? Dangerous *and* counterfiet..hmm. Off to find an email address.

    Listing in the OP has been removed now.

    Who is acting most negligently - the sellers or the parents who buy this tat and actually put their children at risk! Unfortunately while there is a demand for it there will always be sellers.

    I saw something last week that made me extremely worried. A baby about 2 months old with a pierced ear! I don't know who I wanted to slap the most, the parents or whatever shop or 'friend' pierced it.

    I swear some people have only got the iq of a newt

    You are probably right, no doubt newts would raise the average iq of the local population if they moved n.

  • I'm horrified. Are there people who really don't think about their children's safety above their fashion choices? I hope those sellers don't have children.
    I've also reported as hazardous.

    I was at the NEC Baby show last year and Katie Price was speaking, launching her range of hugely overpriced babywear. The amount of people who gathered to hear her speak was amazing, as was the amount of people carrying her goods away in large bags.

    One of the things she said was that baby stuff isn't bling enough and she's trying to launch a range of sparkly girly items but health and safety people keep banning her ideas. That statement got boo'd - I felt I was the only one cheering that someone had some sense about the matter.
