I guess they are allowed to do it as long as it isn't Tesco branded stuff. I am concerned about the ca xmas scarves & collars. I can't see what type of fastener but unlikely to be safety  :scared: - Also what if the cat gets out with a scarf tied round its neck  :scared: - Its annoying that they can sell dangerous gimmicks for animals. When I was dealing with  The office of fair trading last year re PAH collars, the man even said they can get away with murder with pet items whereas if they were for children, there are all kinds of laws in place regarding safety.

Those scarves are for sale in Poundworld so not doubt they'll sell alot of them in store with them being so cheap - i only had a quick look at them but i think they were just look a humans scarf, didn't see a fastener.  They#d got the same for dogs

That cat collar is a scrunchie, they're like the hair scrunchies we use and i find they can be quite tight when i've worn one on my wrist

I actually messaged her & said "ha ha ha These Grooming kits from Tesco by chance ? I paid £3 for mine.. you will be doing alright won't you"

& she replied with

"I got them for even less than that.. so yes.."

They must make a killing.. & I agree Mark.. if it were children it would be a different matter. There are lots of dodgy toys out there.
