A number of children's clothes including puffer coats and jogging bottoms are included in the list of items retailers have recalled due to health and safety concerns.
Trading Standards has issued warnings about several items which should be returned to the retailer for a full refund.
Six coats from the brand Ripstop have been recalled as they present a risk of entrapment due to an elastic adjuster and toggle on the hood, which are not permitted on garments for children.
They may also result in injury as the elasticated straps may "snap back" causing injury to the face or neck.
The items were sold through M&M Direct.
