A garden table which shattered minutes after being set up covering a mum and 11-month-old baby in glass is still on sale, according to an angry dad who is warning others about what happened.

Neil Hancox bought the Al Fresco Living six-seater garden dining set from B&M on Saturday and set it up as soon as he got it home.

But minutes later, as he was putting the packaging in the bin, he heard a loud noise from the garden and returned to find his wife and daughter showered with glass, reports The Liverpool Echo .

Engineer Neil said: "My wife was sat there with my 11-month-old daughter next to the table while I was putting the packaging away and heard something shatter.

"As I came around the corner my wife and my daughter had glass all over them. She got up quickly and moved away. She said 'Neil it's literally just shattered on its own'."

He added: "She was really upset at the time because she just sat there with my daughter and it could have been a lot worse"

Neil says when he called B&M to tell them what had happened he was tokld someone ekse had reported a similar incident.

The store has refunded the £100 cost of the set.

But this week Neil and his wife Louise went back to the branch to return the bits of table, and found it was still being sold at B&M.

Neil said: "There was nothing on it at that time - I had just set it up. We were lucky but if they don't understand the severity of what's happened it could be worse for someone else.

"I just thought that something had dropped on it. I couldn't believe it. My wife said it's literally just shattered. I looked at the manufacturer Al Fresco Living."

A spokeswoman for B&M confirmed that the table had not been recalled following the reported issue.

Speaking on behalf of the bargain retailer, she said: “The safety of our products is of the upmost importance to us, which is why we only use toughened glass in our garden furniture and test to both British and European safety standards - meaning incidents like this are rare.”
