What is this? A child’s inflatable T-Rex costume that can catch fire easily. The package also has a thin plastic bag that can choke a child.

What's happening? The costume lacks clear instructions and safety warnings. The plastic bag is too thin and the fabric burns fast.

Does this affect me? If you have this costume at home with a child under 14, stop using it now.

What should I do? Take it away from children and ask your pharmacist or doctor if you need help finding a safer costume.
