The item is being recalled all across the UK as the retailer shared an urgent warning.

Aldi stated: “Please note that the following Emergency Withdrawal and Public Product Recall has taken place.

“As a precautionary measure, our supplier is recalling this product due to a fault which may cause the glass bottle to break.

“We have removed these products from sale in our stores and are recalling all affected products.”

The retailer continued: “As a precautionary measure, our supplier is recalling the product due to a fault with the product packaging which can cause it to break.

“Customers are asked to return this product to their nearest store, where a full refund will be given.

“We apologise that this product did not meet our normal high standards and thank you for your co-operation.”

However, a number of Brits have already wrapped the fragrances and gifted it to loved ones to put under their tree.

Taking to Facebook, shoppers have theorised that the bottles are “exploding” because the glass is “so thin”. The bottles are packaged in a cardboard box with an opening at the front, leaving them more prone to damage.

The Lacura Cozmo for Him Eau de Parfum and Cozmo for Her Eau de Parfum hit shelves on 10th December, each priced at £6.99.

The scents were dubbed Paco Rabbane dupes, with Aldi bosses saying shoppers could save £87 compared to the designer brand.

After being on sale for 11 days, the supermarket had received enough reports of faulty products that it pulled the perfumes from circulation.
