Protect your family: Popular mini beach tent that could harm you!
- Replies 31
As we welcome the warmer months and plan our seaside escapes, many look for convenient accessories to enhance our beach experience.
One such item that has caught the eye of many Australian families is the pop-up mini beach tent, complete with a small built-in pool, ground spikes, and a storage bag.
However, a recent recall has cast a shadow over this seemingly perfect beach accessory, highlighting the importance of product safety for our seniors and their families.
The item, sold on the online platform Temu, has been urgently recalled by the supplier Yiwi Pingrong Electronic Commerce Co. Ltd. due to a failure to comply with the mandatory standard for portable swimming pools.
The recall explicitly targets products with the identifying numbers SKU10835 and SKU10834, sold between 5 October and 28 October of the previous year.
The absence of the required warning signs on these tents poses a grave risk.
Product Safety Australia has issued a stark warning, stating that the tent presents a risk of 'serious injury or death from drowning' if consumers are unaware of the potential hazards.
This mainly concerns families with young children who might be attracted to the built-in pool feature.
Customers who have purchased this product are advised to cease using it immediately and contact Temu seller Yiqisheng Outdoor to request a refund.
The seller can be reached via the email address [email protected].
The recall of the mini beach tent is not an isolated incident for Temu.
Late last year, a range of hooded jumpers was also recalled after a child suffered 'serious injuries'.
The hoodies lacked a mandatory warning label and posed a risk of severe burn injuries if exposed to heat or a flame source.
In a harrowing incident, an 8-year-old Queensland girl, Daniella Jacobs-Herd, suffered severe burns when her Temu hoodie caught fire due to a bonfire accident.
Moreover, red flags have been raised concerning Temu's coin and button battery-operated products.
Consumer advocates tested 15 random products from the site, and all failed at least one safety test set by Australian regulators.
With new laws introduced in 2022 to ensure button batteries are secure and child-resistant, the findings are alarming.
If ingested, these batteries can cause severe internal burns, leading to death or serious injury within a short time frame.
As seniors, many of us are grandparents or caregivers, and the safety of our loved ones is paramount.
This incident serves as a critical reminder to check safety standards and recall notices of products, especially those intended for use by children.
It's essential to stay informed and vigilant about the items we bring into our homes and to our family gatherings.
In other news, shoppers have been cautioned about children's products on Temu, which failed safety tests due to the associated risks of button batteries.
Consumer advocacy group CHOICE tested 15 items from the online platform, and every product failed to meet at least one Australian safety standard. You can read more about it here.
