Online Chinese retail giant Temu has issued a recall for a children's jumper after an eight-year-old girl in Queensland suffered severe burns when the garment caught fire.

The girl, Daniella Jacobs-Herd, has autism and ADHD, sustained third-degree burns to her face, arm, and chest. She has undergone 14 surgical procedures, including skin grafts, at Queensland Children's Hospital, with more surgeries expected.

Temu currently lists close to 50 recalled products on its website, mostly involving children's toys and clothing.

The fundraiser has collected A$7,429 so far but requires A$10,000 to meet treatment expenses. The family has appealed for public support to help Daniella recover from her injuries.

The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) found that the recalled jumper failed to meet mandatory safety standards for children's nightwear, which require fire hazard warning labels. Some garments are so flammable they cannot be sold in Australia.

"An incident has occurred resulting in serious injuries to a child."

In 1973, a study by the United States National Bureau of Standards highlighted the risks, revealing that sleepwear was often the first item to ignite in fire incidents involving children.

Cotton nightgowns and kitchen ranges were particularly hazardous.

The study found that among 316 cases of non-contaminated ignited sleepwear, children aged 6-12 were most affected, with females at higher risk due to the use of nightgowns.

Tragically, five children died, and 52 of 74 victims required hospitalisation. These findings led to recommendations for stricter flammability standards for garments.
