Next T-shirt Recall due to harmful substances found


The Enderby-based clothing company Next is recalling two batches of children's T-shirts when they were found to contain harmful substances as a safety precaution.  Next has strict guidelines for their printed T-shirts and test all their products to ensure they comply with their strict safety guidelines.  In this case, additional random testing showed that the safety guidelines where not being met.  As a precaution, two batches of children's T-shirts, targeted to boys between three months and six years, were being recalled.

Next says the recall will cost them money, but felt the precaution is worth it for the consumer safety.  It was not revealed how many products or T-shirts were being recalled, or what strict safety guideline was exceeded.  Next is showing they operate with a high level of standards.  But, it does make me wonder what testing they do. Is there something in the ink?
