301 redirect in .htaccess redirecting to incorrect page

I am trying to redirect an old page /home/samples.html that no longer exists to the new home page /

I have written the redirect as: Redirect 301 /home/samples.html /

However when I visit the old page I am redirected to /non-slip-mats-anti-slip-placematssamples.html

Could this be due to a conflict with another redirect? The others that I have written are below:

  Redirect 301 /front-page /
  Redirect 301 /content/mats /non-slip-mats-anti-slip-placemats
  Redirect 301 /content/netting /non-slip-netting

That is because of conflicting redirects in these 2 rules:

Redirect 301 /home/samples.html /
Redirect 301 /home /non-slip-mats-anti-slip-placemats

You can see that /home also matches /home/samples.html URI. You would be better off using RedirectMatch for it's regex capabilities. So use these rules:

RedirectMatch 301 ^/home/samples\.html$ /
RedirectMatch 301 ^/home/?$ /non-slip-mats-anti-slip-placemats

Likewise you can convert all your 301 rules to use RedirectMatch.
