Claire’s Accessories have issued an urgent recall on a number of snap bracelets purchased over the last five months.
Over 600 dodgy bands have been sold from specific batches, between March and July, without a protective cover across the metal band.
The faulty product could cause cuts across the skin, and the company are asking customers to return them.
A statement reads: “Claire’s Accessories are carrying out a voluntary recall of their Slap Bracelet product which was on sale in stores from March 2018 to July 2018.
“The safety concern is that there may be a risk of injury as some stock does not have a protective inner cover on the metal, which may cause the metal to be exposed and may lead to lacerations of the skin.
“620 units of this product have been sold in the Republic of Ireland.
“We take the safety of our customers very seriously and if you have purchased the above product you should stop using it immediately and return it to your nearest Claire’s store for a full refund.”
The batches affected are: 13984, 13865, 13922, 13895, 13862 and 13877.
