The Isle of Man Office of Fair Trading wishes to make the public aware of an important safety recall.
Dealz, part of the Poundland group, is recalling ‘Fright Nite’ Halloween wigs & ‘Celebrations’ dress up wigs as they do not meet the Toy Safety flammability standard and, therefore, pose a risk if exposed to a naked flame. The Halloween wigs affected have been on sale since August 2016 and the ‘Celebrations’ dress up wigs have been on sale since March 2015 at Dealz and Poundland stores, and Poundland Online.
