DUNNES STORES HAS issued a recall notice for 1,500 junior sock packs after it was revealed that a baby required an emergency operation due to a critical product design flaw.
The supermarket chain was alerted by the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC) of a complaint from a customer who alleged that a loose thread from one of the five-pair pink marl baby socks wrapped tightly around the baby’s toe, causing swelling.
The swelling became so bad that surgery was required to remove the offending thread.
As a result, Dunnes Stores has recalled the 1,564 five-pair baby sock packs immediately. The notice applies to consumers who purchased the socks prior to their removal from stores last December.
Gráinne Griffin from the CCPC said: “There are 1,564 five-pair packs of pink marl baby socks being recalled by Dunnes today, following a call to our helpline.”
She added: “Dunnes Stores has engaged constructively with us and have recalled these baby socks. If you think you have a pack of these socks, please stop using them.”
Customers who are in possession of the implicated product are urged to stop use now, and to dispose of them. Alternatively, they can contact Dunnes for a full refund.
The product code is 07913 with barcode: 5099015690097.
Consumers with similar safety concerns can contact the CCPC helpline on 01 402 5555 or email ask@ccpc.ie.

Fair play to Arsenal and especially Arteta. Everyone who follows football will know his managerial journey and will also know what an extraordinary job he has done turning Arsenal’s fortunes around. Even as a United fan I can see that and appreciate it. Also, a breath of fresh air to see a team not only break to City/Liverpool mould but to do it in such a way that even rival fans can enjoy watching them. Hats off.
@Alan Farrell: not so much a city/Liverpool mould. Liverpool have only won one premier league title since Man City were taken over by oil money. Also take in to Liverpool’s net spend is far lower than the likes of city and united.
@Danny Sherrard: Ah you know what I mean though, they’ve been the dominant teams in the PL for a few years now, not winning it loads of times doesn’t take away from how good a team Liverpool have been. Maybe I could have been clearer there. Not bothered about net spend or any of that, the transfer market has become an absolute farce since PSG paid Neymars buyout clause. €100m for Antony? No way in hell that price is being paid pre-Neymar to PSG. Also not my money so couldn’t give a hoot how much investors are willing to blow on player acquisitions.
I blame Arteta !
I blame Gary lineker
so far lucky arsenul…
@Bass Boss: the more they train together the luckier they get!
