Budget retailer Poundland is recalling a range of Halloween wigs over safety fears.

The company says the products “have been found to fall below our standards”.

A spokeswoman said: “As a responsible retailer we take the testing and the standard of our products very seriously and remain committed to the highest levels of product quality which is why we are taking this precautionary measure.”
