Asda recalls range of children's hoodies amid safety risk fears

Supermarket chain Asda has pulled two children's hoodies from its George clothing range after they were found to cause a potential 'risk of entrapment.'

Parents are being urged to check if they have purchased either a children's soda hoodie in mint green or pink, and return them to store if they find they have bought one.

The grocery giant said the recall was due to the drawcords on the hoodies, which could potentially cause a safety risk.

The alert said: "If you have purchased 304 Soda hoodie Jnr Mint or 304 World hoodie Jnr Pink with any of the barcodes listed, please bring it back to your nearest store where you will be given a full refund.

"This product has been recalled due to a potential issue with the drawcords, which may cause a risk of entrapment.

"You do not need your receipt. We are very sorry for any inconvenience caused."

The barcodes affected by the recall are the following:

Pink hoodies

  • 5059189727173
  • 5059189727135
  • 50591897111
  • 5059189726695
  • 5059189727159

Mint green hoodies

  • 505189727012
  • 5059189726176
  • 5059189726152
  • 5059189726138

The recall comes just weeks after the supermarket was affected by a similar recall, when a children's cup manufacturer recalled one of their products.

The Nuby Gulp Cup was recalled from Boots, Morrisons and Tesco as well as Asda after they were found to potentially cause a "choking hazard" for children.
