DISNEY has launched an investigation into one of its products after a five-year-old girl from Malvern badly cut her finger on a shattered children's perfume bottle.

The multinational leisure giant could now change the way its small glass perfume bottles are made after Leanna Burston was left with blood pouring from her hand in an incident which shocked her family.

Mum Rachel Burston, of Elgar Avenue, Malvern, said: "Glass and children do not mix. I'm a bit angry. It's a bit silly putting perfume into glass bottles but you don't think about that when you see it's Disney, do you? She could have cut her wrist."

Leanna, a Great Malvern Primary School pupil, was being looked after by her granddad Larry Kember at his home in Upton-upon-Severn when the accident happened.

He said: "We were sitting outside in the back garden under the canopy when she said she wanted to get her perfume and went to get her bag.

"The next thing she was screaming and blood was pouring out of her hand. We didn't know what had happened."

He said he looked inside the deep make-up bag to see a shattered perfume bottle with a large jagged piece of glass.

He said: "She must have dropped it on the floor and it shattered. She cut her fingers quite badly."

He said they managed to bandage Leanna's finger up without having to take her to hospital before calming her down.

Although the bag was bought at Disneyland Paris, Mr Kember said he has seen the same product in high street stores in England and wants to warn parents.

He said: "A lot of children buy this stuff. People are selling them everywhere. The bottle is made of glass. For a child, it should be made of plastic."

Disney spokesman Pieter Boterman said it was now investigating the complaint as well as the product, with the possibility of changing the material the container was made out of.

A Worcestershire County Council spokesman said Trading Standards could not comment because Disney was investigating.

However, he said consumers should be aware that although products have to meet specific requirements in Britain, those standards might not be the same abroad.
