Temu Recalls Children's Jumper After Burn Injury

An eight-year-old girl from Queensland, Daniella Jacobs-Herd, suffered severe burns to 13% of her body after her glow-in-the-dark unicorn hoodie from the online retailer Temu caught fire during a backyard birthday celebration. The garment failed to meet mandatory Australian safety standards, lacking a required fire warning label, which led to the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) issuing a recall. Daniella has undergone 14 surgical procedures, including skin grafts, and her family has started a GoFundMe to cover medical expenses, having raised A$7,429 of their A$10,000 goal. Following the incident, Temu advised consumers to destroy the hoodie and offered refunds, while Daniella's mother is exploring legal options for compensation. The case highlights concerns over the safety of products sold online and the reactive nature of consumer protection laws in Australia. Consumer advocates are calling for stronger proactive measures to prevent such incidents in the future.
