Earlier this month, a girl's swimsuit possibly sold to Irish consumers online was the subject of a Product Safety Information Notice from the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission.
In a warning on its website, the CCPC says "a safety issue has been identified with a baby girl’s swimming costume sold on the VOVA Platform.
They said that "the risk associated with the product is that of asphyxiation. The article presents a risk of entrapment which could lead to strangulation or other injuries."
While the brand of the product is unknown, the type/number of model is C03-5-3-2. The batch number and barcode are also unknown.
The warning was been issued to Irish parents because of the online availability of this product.
