A mum has posted a stark warning to parents over a brand of Lenor fabric softener, for fears it could be life-threatening.
Leah Reilly posted on Facebook telling fellow mum's not to put Lenor Spring Awakening fabric softener on their children's clothes.
The eagle-eyed mum spotted a warning on the back of the bottle which says not to use it on sleepwear garments which are labelled as flame resistant, the Mirror reports.
She said: "Never seen this before but all mums need to know DO NOT PUT THIS ON YOUR KIDS SLEEPWEAR!!! Look there's a f***ing warning on the back of the bottle."
The back of the bottle states: "Do not use this product: On children's sleepwear or garments labelled as flame resistant as it may reduce flame resistance."
Offering a more detailed explanation, one grateful commenter added: "It rids the flame retardant off items after so long, so in a house fire you will have half or even less than half the time to get out of the house before everything that everyone sprays Lenor on is ablaze.
"It's scary I don't know why people are even joking about this."
