Special email update – message to remove ‘Plum Wooden Playhouse’ from nurseries

Following an incident last week in which a child died at nursery, Trading Standards is advising all nurseries with a Plum Wooden Playhouse (product code 25002) to remove it from use in their settings with immediate effect.

This is a precautionary measure and there is nothing at this stage to suggest the product is unsafe. It is thought that the product has already been withdrawn from sale pending an investigation into the incident. At this stage the playhouse is not being recalled by either the importer or the manufacturer.

The playhouse was on sale with a number of retailers including Littlewoods, Woolworths, Kybotech (trading as Gardens Buildings Direct) and Argos. Although at this stage there is nothing to suggest an issue with the product itself, NDNA recommends that you follow Trading Standards advice and remove the playhouse from use in your nursery for the time being.

NDNA will keep members updated about any further news about this product as we receive it. At the time of this email bulletin, there were no further announcements about the product but nurseries wishing to monitor the situation can click here to visit the product recall section on the Trading Standards website. This is where all announcements with regards to products that are being recalled are posted.

NDNA would like to stress that this is a precautionary measure and at this stage there is nothing to suggest that the product is dangerous.

Thankfully I have not got this product you would be worried though if you had

Precautionary usually ends up to mean unsafe !!!

Wonder why people have not been warned about this in general well if they have this is the first I have heard of it

Any one of us could have one of these for our own children or grandchildren

Thanks for that Tasha

Flamn Hell!
It's the first I've heard of this, poor darlin.
You think they would recall the item even if it is safe just as a precautionary measure, would they (god forbid) wait for another incident before doing anything? Or at least publically warn everyone

thanks Tasha.

I hope you don't mind but I've forwarded a copy to my network co-ordinator. Like you say a lo died possibly due to this product, so everyone should be aware.
