Since they're aware of the exact batch numbers and have begun recalling them (as nismo posted), I'd assume they've stopped selling them. Seems like the first logical choice before a recall. So I doubt there's a problem in buying any of their stuff now.
I don't know… they have lost my trust as well…I recon if ACCC had enough will and staff, half of stuff we eat and wear would be recalled.
Going by your comment and if you look through the full list of retailers that have had similar recalls in the last year, you will be walking around naked for a few days, before dying!
Because you won't be buying anything from anywhere!
In addition to Jeanswest, Cotton On & Rivers Australia, mentioned in the Herald Sun link, Previous recalls have affected other big name Australian retailers Myer, Just Jeans, Trade Secret and Target, where five lines of jeans were recalled
Website seems to be down?
Seems to be slow or hit & miss for me. Glad I bought before posting! Good luck :-)
yep
I would think twice before buying any jeans from Jeanswest: [Heraldsun] (http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/victoria/azo-dye-recall-hit…)
