Dunnes Stores has issued a recall of more than 15,000 baby socks due to a risk of injury.
It comes after a called alerted the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC) helpline that a loose thread from one of the socks had wrapped tightly around their baby’s toe, causing it to swell.
This resulted in a hospital visit and surgical intervention to remove the thread.
Product safety officials from the CCPC contacted Dunnes Stores to alert them to the danger.
The chain is now recalling 1,564 five-pair packs of baby socks which were sold from the store.
Grainne Griffin from the CCPC said: “There are 1,564 five-pair packs of pink marl baby socks being recalled by Dunnes today, following a call to our helpline.
“We are grateful to this parent for taking the time to alert us to this issue. Calls to our helpline guide our work and we will always prioritise issues concerning the safety of consumers.
“Dunnes Stores has engaged constructively with us and have recalled these baby socks. If you think you have a pack of these socks, please stop using them. If you still have the packaging, check the product code and batch number. Consumers should dispose of the socks or return them to Dunnes Stores for a refund.
“Consumers with similar safety concerns can contact our helpline on 01 402 5555 or email ask@ccpc.ie.”
The socks were removed from sale in December 2024.
– The affected product is labelled as Dunnes Stores baby socks (pack of 5, size 0-2.5 years in Pink Marl – BG 5PK Design). The product’s unique identifier is 07913, style: 7302430, barcode: 5099015690097.
