About this deal
A MUM-OF-TWO has issued a warning to parents after a Halloween torch from Tesco caught fire and burned her daughter’s hand. It just caught on fire and burnt my six-year-old daughter’s hand. Maybe retweet and warn other parents?” chez37405899 wrote: “I’ve bought two and given them to my grandkids. I have texted their mum to say not to use – thank you for this.” I’ll never buy something like that again. If something had happened to either of my daughters because of a cheap torch I’d never forgive myself.”

At the time, a spokesman for Tesco said: “We take great care to ensure all of our products meet the highest standards of quality so we’re sorry to hear about this incident.
