A popular Christmas product sold at Kmart stores nationwide has been recalled due to a chemical issue that could cause irritation for some customers.
The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) has issued a warning about Christmas-themed quilt cover sets and pillowcase sets. These products reportedly give off a strong chemical smell that may trigger reactions in people.
The issue came to light when Nine’s A Current Affair aired a report nine days ago. Viewers shared concerns about health problems linked to the bedding.
The recalled items include the Mr. & Mrs. Claus queen bed quilt cover set, the Christmas Elf reversible single bed quilt cover set, the Merry Christmas pillowcase set, the Santa & Elves pillowcase set, and the Christmas Quilt single bed quilt cover set.
These products, sold under the Anko brand, may pose health risks. The strong chemical smell could cause serious reactions if it comes into contact with skin or is inhaled.
According to the ACCC, the issue occurred because the products didn’t cure properly during manufacturing, leading to the chemical odour.
The affected products were sold between September 22 and December 4 and can be identified by the following keycodes:
- Mr. & Mrs. Claus Quilt Queen Bed Set: 43435029
- Christmas Elf Reversible Quilt Single Bed Set: 43434862
- Merry Christmas Pillowcase: 43434848
- Santa & Elves Pillowcase: 43434855
- Christmas Quilt Single Bed Set: 43434879
Customers are advice to stop using these products immediately. You can return them to your nearest Kmart store for a full refund.
