The One Show issued an update after a “shocking” investigation into a bath soap that it was claimed left some children injured.

The latest instalment of the BBC show (March 4) included Watchdog Wednesday, which sees Matt Allwright and Nikki Fox looking into consumer issues.

As the programme opened, Matt shared that he had an update on the soap, telling viewers and presenters Alex Jones and Clara Amfo: “A major update on last week’s shocking investigation into this children’s flammable bath soap. We’ve got big progress on that.”

He returned to the investigation after delivering the rest of his updates, as host Alex asked: “Before you go, you mentioned last week’s story because you’ve had a bit of a result? This was all about a foam spray that parents got really worried about.”

“Yeah, not surprised,” Matt replied. “In case you missed it, last week Nikki told us all about reports that Kids Stuff Crazy Soap was catching fire when used near a flame such as a candle and that was causing injury to children whilst in the bath.

“Unbelievable stuff. But we are pleased to say that after that report, the Office for Product Safety and Standards has now suspended the sale of the product while further investigations are being carried out.”

“That is a great result, Matt,” said Clara.

A post on the government website said of the Kids Stuff Crazy Foaming Soap: “The product contains butane, isobutane and propane, which are flammable gases.

“If the product is dispensed on to a flame or other ignition source, or comes into contact with a naked flame, the foam may ignite causing burns to the user.”

It continued: “Corrective action: The Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS) is suspending sale of this product because of safety concerns while further investigations are carried out.

“Consumers who have the affected product should check the batch number and contact their retailer.”
