It does worry me as a parent that these items are still slipping through the net. Although nightwear currently has stringent tests, Claudia Winkleman recently hit the headlines when she spoke out about how her daughter’s supermarket bought Halloween costume caught fire causing life threatening injuries. Retailers then assured consumers that they would be more vigilant with regards to testing and the products they sold.
I doubt any parents are allowing their children near naked flames on a regular basis but I'd still like to feel more confident that the items I buy on the high street for my daughter have ALL been properly tested and are as safe as they can be.
