A girl received horrific burns after false nail glue from Primark reportedly melted through her leggings.
Tasha Woolley, from Hampshire, says her 11-year-old daughter accidentally dripped the Primark glue on her leg while trying to apply it to her nails.
The girl was rushed to hospital for treatment and will now require surgery or a skin graft, reports Mirror Online .
Pictures of the injury were posted to Facebook, along with a warning to other parents.
Ms Woolley wrote on Facebook: "Warning. Primark glue.
“So as many of you know [my daughter] had a chemical burn to the leg on Wednesday evening. She was trying to put on false nails from Primark.
“She was told to wait till I helped her it but as she knows best like any 11-year-old, she decided to do it herself without us knowing. She managed to get it on her leg. She was wearing leggings.
The glue melted the leggings to her leg and burnt all underneath. Causing a very deep burn.
“Charlie put her under a cold shower and then we rushed her to A and E where she was seen straight away and put into a shower there."
A Primark spokesman said the company takes the safety of its customers seriously and that the nail glue complied with EU rules.
They added that the product contains ingredients used in other products on the high street and the packaging features a skin contact and child suitability warning.
The retailer said it was sorry to hear about Ms Woolley's experience and was investigating the complaint.
