Mum furious as toddler left in tears by 'sharp pins in Sports Direct tracksuit'

A mum has told of her fury after her toddler was left in tears by 'sharp pins' thatwere reportedly left in his new tracksuit.

Laura Trigg, 33, of Bridlington, in Hull, purchased the Adidas tracksuit from the Sports Direct store in the seaside town to put away as a present for her son Frankie-Lee.

Laura dressed her 21-month-old son in the new outfit but claims she later found there was a large pin from the security tags left in one leg of the bottoms.

She told HullLive: “It’s like a big drawing pin. It was massive. If it had stuck into his leg he would have been seriously hurt.

“It’s broken my heart. It’s always hard when your child is upset but I didn’t know what was going on, I was so confused.

“I won’t go back now. It’s their job to check these things.

"I know accidents happen but they’ve left a pin in a child’s tracksuit, it’s not like leaving the bag in a cup of tea.”

The toddler had been outside playing on his new electric bike when he started crying.

Laura said: “I thought it can’t be the bike? He was really heartbreakingly crying.

“He started pulling at his tracksuit bottoms legs. I took him in and I sat him down on the sofa and he kept pulling at his trousers at the bottom.

“The pin had scratched all of his ankles. It had made a right mess.”

It was the first day off that Laura had from her job at a nearby bistro over Christmas and she hoped to spend the day playing with her three children.

“It definitely put a downer on our Christmas," she said. "I had been at work all Christmas and that was my first day with the kids. And then that happened.”

Laura complained to the store but the manager could only explain that they had been busy over Christmas.

He said: “I rang and asked to speak to the manager and explained what happened but all they said was accidents happen and they had been busy over Christmas.

“They didn’t seem too bothered but it could have been so much worse.”

She says she has since contacted the Sports Direct customer service team but received no response.
