Knife blade 'found in baby shoes'

A discount clothes chain is investigating claims that an inch-long knife blade was found in a pair of baby shoes bought at one of its stores. New father Steven Varley bought the shoes for his four-day-old son Oscar from a Primark store in Chatham, Kent, and described the discovery as "horrendous". Mr Varley, from Folkestone, said he hurt his finger as he took the paper packaging out of the second shoe. He told BBC Kent: "I thought it was a lace I then pulled on the piece of paper and inside the shoe was this razor-sharp blade.
"It's horrendous."
A spokeswoman for Primark said: "Primark is extremely concerned to hear this news and the company is taking urgent action to investigate this issue. "The company cannot comment in detail on this complaint until its inquiries are complete, but the company apologises to the customer for any distress this must have caused. "Primark will of course keep the customer informed about the progress and outcome of its inquiries."

I agree. The parents need to know what their kids are playing with or wearing is safe. It is their job.

This is extremely dangerous and scary!! I am with everyone here though parents should check their kids clothes before they are put on. I mean it just makes sense if you do it for yourself, shouldn't you do it for the littlest memebers of the family?!?!
