Pop-up mini beach tent sold on Temu recalled over risk of ‘serious injury or death’

A Temu item has been recalled due to the risk of “serious injury or death” it presents.

The pop-up mini beach tent features a small built-in pool, and comes with ground spikes and a storage bag.

It has been recalled by supplier Yiwi pingrong Electronic Commerce Co. Ltd. as it does not comply with the mandatory standard for portable swimming pools.

Products with the identifying numbers SKU10835 and SKU10834 are included in the recall.

The tents were on sale from October 5 to October 28 last year.

The products do not have the required warning signs.

The tent poses a risk of serious injury or death from drowning if consumers are not aware of these hazards, Product Safety Australia said.

Customers should stop using the product immediately, and contact Temu seller Yiqisheng Outdoor to request a refund.

The seller can be contacted via 1113658985@qq.com.

The recall comes after a range of hooded jumpers on Temu were recalled late last year, after a child suffered ‘serious injuries’.

The hoodies did not come with a mandatory warning label and presented a risk of serious burn injuries if exposed to heat or a flame source.

“An incident has occurred resulting in serious injuries to a child,” Product Safety said at the time.

In the incident early last year, a Queensland girl suffered serious injuries after her Temu oodie caught fire.

Daniella Jacobs-Herd, 8, was with family and friends on her Walliebum property, in the Fraser Coast region, when a gust of wind blew flames from a bonfire onto her.

“(Her clothes were) made from so much plastic and they’re really cheap and nasty, it had melted to her hand, her forearm, upper arm and her chest and she got a flash-burn on her face,” her mother Hannah Jacobs told 7NEWS.com.au.

Daniella was taken to Hervey Bay Hospital but was immediately flown to Queensland Children’s Hospital in Brisbane for surgery early the following day.

Her recovery from the burns was set to include grafts and plastic surgery.

Red flags raised

Red flags were also raised by consumer advocates last year after testing Temu’s coin and button battery-operated products.

The organisation anonymously purchased and tested 15 random coin and button battery-operated products from the site in May last year.

All 15 products failed at least one safety test, set by Australian regulators.

In 2022, a raft of new laws was introduced requiring button batteries to be secure and child-resistant.

If swallowed, a button battery can get stuck in a child’s throat and cause a chemical reaction that burns through tissue, causing death or serious injury within a short time frame.

Temu products included in the testing were a light-up tutu which had an easily dislodged button battery, children’s watches, spinning tops, mini electronic games, and LED tea lights.
