Asda Recalls Kids’ Rash Vest Over Sun Safety Fears

Supermarket giant Asda has launched an urgent recall of a children’s clothing item that fails to meet essential sun safety standards. Parents are urged to return the Boys Octopus Rash Vest and Short in Green & Blue for a full refund—no receipt needed.

Sun Safety Risk: What You Need to Know

The affected rash vest and shorts, available in all sizes, do not comply with the EN 13758-2 sun protection requirement. This means the item may not shield children properly from harmful UV rays, putting them at risk during sunny days.
