Clothing Safety
Unsafe clothing can cause serious harm — particularly for young children — due to strangulation hazards, toxic dyes, or poor flammability resistance.
FOLO-UP tracks recurring issues in:
- Children’s hoodies or jackets with long cords
- Halloween costumes that fail flammability tests
- Imported garments dyed with toxic azo compounds
- Clothes falsely labelled with safety marks
- Missing product or care labelling
We work to flag listings and bulk imports that breach textile safety regulations or fail to meet UK labelling requirements.
Report unsafe clothing or a fancy-dress costume
Use this page for garments, costumes, nightwear, footwear, and children’s clothing with flammability, drawstring, chemical, small-part, or misleading-labelling concerns.
Products you can report
- Children’s garments with cords or small parts
- Fancy-dress costumes and masks
- Nightwear and highly flammable clothing
- Footwear, accessories, and chemically treated textiles
What helps us review it
- The product name, brand, model, and batch or serial number
- The marketplace, seller name, and product-listing URL
- Clear photographs of the product, packaging, and labels
- A factual description of the hazard, failure, injury, or near miss
Category-specific evidence: Photograph the garment, care and fibre labels, age or size label, packaging, cords or small parts, and describe any ignition, burn, reaction, or entanglement incident.
