Why aren’t these things tested before going on sale? Surely it isn’t hard to do.

I would have thought that this should be checked before they get to the point of sale, but the recall is the right thing to do.

all clothing is some kind of fire hazard – the missing label is just a product of the cheap labour making them overseas

Well I hope they simply sew the labels on to these. Otherwise it would be such a waste of perfectly fine garments.

This is so basic, it’s surprising they got it wrong.

Regardless of age and size ALL clothing should contain the tag in it. All fabric can be dangerous.

I’m about to buy some baby clothing as a gift so I’m grateful for the warning.

Is that really the reason? Do parents not have the common sense to keep babies away from things that can burn them?

  I think the sad thing is that common sense isn’t common and unfortunately there are quite negligent people out there regardless of whether there is a tag on clothes or not.

It’s worrying how many of these recalls are required when there hasn’t been a law change.

If it doesn’t carry the fire hazard information label then why was it even approved to be stocked??? I hope that these items won’t be going to landfill due to the product recall – that would be such a waste!

Why are things not meeting Australian Standards and requirements before approval is given to be selling them in the store – where is the stock quality control people checking these requirements??? There are far too many product recalls now than 5 or 10 years ago – what has changed to reflect this?
