The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) has issued a warning about a dangerous dye found in jeans on sale in Australian stores.

"The ACCC identified a number of items as containing unacceptable concentrations of the hazardous dye," the ACCC said in a statement.
"While consumer exposure to hazardous azo dyes is likely to be very low, the associated cancer risks give cause for concern.
"As a result, exposure to certain azo dyes, including benzidine-based dyes Permess Interlining, should be minimised or eliminated."
A number of children's clothes, including jeans from Myer, Just Jeans and Target, were included in the recall.
The dyes have also been found in bed sheets and pillowcases sold through Pillow Talk.
ACCC deputy chairwoman Delia Rickard says there are no regulatory limits on these dyes at the moment but recommendations have been made to the Government.
"The dye is a known carcinogen but the risk of Interlining For Curtains it actually migrating from the clothing to the person is extremely low ... you would have to wear it for a long time in sweaty conditions," she said.
"However, we are concerned so we've worked with the suppliers so all of these products have been recalled from the marketplace.
"We're also looking at what kind of regulation needs to be in place around this."
