A MAJOR high-street chain has issued an urgent recall on a product in its outdoor furniture range.
Aldi has recalled its portable hammocks due to "risk of injury" to customers.
The retail giant has released a statement advising customers who bought a particular outdoor hammock to return the Specialbuy item to stores immediately.
The firm said: "We are recalling this product due to a design defect that may cause the seam to split.
"Customers are asked to return this product to their nearest store, where a full refund will be given.
"We apologise that this product did not meet our normal high standards and thank you for your co-operation."
