An eight-year-old Queensland girl was horrifically burnt and has been left facing up to 10 years of surgery after her jumper caught fire while she was standing near a fire pit outside her home.
The product was bought off popular website Temu.
It was recalled after being found in breach of Australian Safety Standards in November.

Daniella Jacobs-Herd, from Hervey Bay, received the glow in the dark, purple unicorn, hoodie for her birthday from her grandmother.
She wore it religiously – until it caught alight.
A spark from a backyard firepit landed on the fabric and ignited it in a split second on July 13, 2024.
"You might as well just throw an accelerant on her and let her on fire. That's how it looked," mother Hannah Jacobs, said.

"It was just melting. She was screaming.
"You can see that the product itself actually melted like plastic, like a plastic bag.
"Everyone, all the adults, were in quite distress because they had seen her skin just falling off her."
Daniella suffered burns to 13 per cent of her body.
Doctors say she is facing up to 10 years of surgery.
The incident forced the hoodies to be pulled from shelves, but not until four months later.

The Australian Competition & Consumer Commission (ACCC) found they weren't up to Australian standards and didn't have a fire warning label.
"How can this be in Australia How can we have these products that burn children," Jacobs-Herd said.
The family have now engaged lawyers to reach a resolution with Temu.
"I don't want money for personal gain, I just want my daughter to have some sort of a life," she said.

Temu said they were assisting in communications with the family and were working with the ACCC to address the matter.
Product Safety Australia said in its recall notice the jumpers don't include the required warning label to meet the mandatory standard for children's nightwear.
