The Office for Product Safety and Standards issued the recall for the George ‘Stitch and Angel’ 2-piece set available at ASDA.
Children could be put at risk by a cord on the shorts which is too long.
The top in the set is unaffected by the recall.
In a recall statement, the OPSS expressed concern that a child may “become tangled or trapped in the cord, leading to injury.”
It applies to all sizes of the children’s clothing set which is suitable for ages one to eight.
Customers are urged to return the product to their nearest store, and they do not need a receipt.
The recall affects items with the following barcodes:
5059201121453

The clothing set was released as part of a collection celebrating the launch of the new live action Lilo & Stitch.
ASDA’s collection includes a range of clothes suitable for children.
A two-pack of rainbow coloured playsuits is available for £12, as well as an Aloha Vibes Long Sleeve Swimsuit also for £12.
As part of the collaboration they have also released home wear, including a cushion collection, storage cubes, and a reversible duvet set.
Children can be entertained by the range of toys which includes plushies, a Stitch wooden easel, and a Lilo and Stitch Monopoly set.
The new live action film was released on May 21 and is a remake of the popular 2002 animation.
Chris Sanders, the original voice of Stitch, has reprised the role, alongside Maia Kealoha in her debut role.
