Kids Stuff Crazy Foaming Soap suspended over burn risk, parents urged to check batch numbers
Popular colourful foaming soap suspended over fire risk, here’s what parents need to know.
The Office for Product Safety and Standards, OPSS, has suspended the sale of Kids Stuff Crazy Foaming Soap after safety concerns were raised about a potential burn risk.
The popular 200ml foaming soap, known for its bright pink, blue and purple colours, contains flammable gases that could ignite if used near a flame. Parents are now being urged to check batch numbers and contact their retailer if they have purchased an affected product.
Why has Kids Stuff Crazy Foaming Soap been suspended?
According to the official Product Safety Report, the soap contains butane, isobutane and propane, which are flammable gases.
The report states: “The product contains butane, isobutane and propane, which are flammable gases. If the product is dispensed on to a flame or other ignition source, or comes into contact with a naked flame, the foam may ignite causing burns to the user.”
While foaming soaps are a bath time favourite for many children, the risk relates specifically to use near candles, gas hobs, matches or any other open flames.
As a precautionary measure, OPSS has suspended sales of the product while further investigations are carried out.

The suspension applies to Kids Stuff Crazy Foaming Soap in the following colours and batch numbers:

- 25948E 3

The product is a 200ml foaming soap manufactured in the United Kingdom.
If you are unsure which batch you have, check the packaging carefully, the batch code is usually printed on the base of the can or bottle.
What should parents do now?
The OPSS has confirmed that: “The Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS) is suspending sale of this product because of safety concerns while further investigations are carried out. Consumers who have the affected product should check the batch number and contact their retailer.”
If your child uses this product:
- Stop using it immediately if your batch number matches those listed above
- Keep it away from heat sources or naked flames
- Contact the retailer you purchased it from for advice on returns or refunds
At the time of writing, this is a suspension of sale rather than a full recall, and investigations are ongoing.
How common are flammable ingredients in bathroom products?
Some aerosol and pressurised cosmetic products contain flammable propellants such as butane or propane. These are widely used across the industry. However, they must be used and labelled appropriately to minimise risk.
This alert highlights the importance of keeping any pressurised or aerosol products away from flames, including scented candles often used during bath time.
For parents, it is also a good reminder to:
- Store bathroom products out of reach of younger children
- Supervise bath time, particularly if products produce foam or spray
- Avoid using any cosmetic product near open flames
