An Auckland couple who experienced health issues after purchasing a since-recalled quilt from Kmart are urging others to return the product, which has been linked to two hospitalisations in Australia. Last week, Australian media reported the retailer was recalling two Christmas-themed quilts - Anko’s Mr & Mrs Claus Reversible Queen Size Bed Quilt Cover Set and Christmas Elf Reversible Single Bed Quilt Cover Set - after customers who were exposed to the bedding allegedly suffered health scares. The Herald confirmed on Wednesday that the recall would also be extended to New Zealand .
