Kmart has recalled a popular Christmas item due to a chemical defect.

A popular Christmas product, available at Kmart stores nationwide, has recently been recalled due to a chemical defect that could potentially cause discomfort for some consumers. The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) has issued a warning, alerting customers of the potential risks associated with the Christmas-themed quilt cover sets and pillowcase sets. It has been reported that these products emit a strong chemical odor that may trigger reactions in certain individuals.

The story first came to light on Nine's A Current Affair, when concerned viewers came forward with complaints of health issues after using the product. This news has been circulating for nine days now, raising concerns among the public. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has also expressed his condemnation of the recent antisemitic attack in Sydney. The affected sets include the Mr. & Mrs. Claus queen bed quilt cover set, the Christmas Elf reversible single bed quilt cover set, the Merry Christmas pillowcase set, the Santa & Elves pillowcase set, and the Christmas Quilt single bed quilt cover set.

These products, under the brand name Anko, have the potential to cause serious injury or illness if they come into contact with the skin or if the chemical odor is inhaled. The ACCC has warned that the products did not cure properly during the manufacturing process, resulting in the strong chemical odor. These items were available for purchase from September 22 to December 4. The identifying product codes are as follows: Mr. & Mrs. Claus Quilt queen bed set, Christmas Elf Reversible Quilt single bed set, Merry Christmas Pillowcase, Santa & Elves Pillowcase, and Christmas Quilt single bed set.

Customers who have purchased these products are advised to immediately stop using them and return them to the nearest Kmart store for a full refund. As a precautionary measure, it is important to discontinue use of the product to avoid any potential risks.
