ALERT: Recall issued on popular children’s product amid choking fears

The Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC) issued a recall on Thursday, November 14, of a popular children’s toy, due to fears that there is a risk of choking present.

The brand, which is home to 23 shops across Ireland, as well as a large web store, is recalling their ‘Hairband with light and veil dark unicorn’ product. 

The risk reported to the CCPC is choking, as the lid of the battery box in not securely fastened. This means the batteries could be accessible, and become a potential choking hazard for small children.
