To throw away all my children's dressing up clothes?

Daily Fail link sorry but I've learned from it that after Claudia Winkleman's poor DD was burned at Halloween, the man who helped her has found out that Halloween and dress up costumes...the nylon kind we all buy cheaply in Supermarkets are classed as TOYS and so aren't fire safe.

why did I never check!?

I know our kids don't routinely run round candles in their dress up outfits but one spark....

I had to stop watching at 2 minutes it was so upsetting. I just felt sick for her and her little daughter. It's so easy to see how it could happen - just one little brush against a pumpkin while all the children are jostling on the doorstep.

Thank you for sharing this OP. It will make me think carefully about 'floaty' costumes of any kind (although DS seems to prefer superheroes and monsters!)
