IKEA pulls product from sale over 'choking hazard' fears

IKEA has been forced to pull a product from sale in its store and online amid fears it could be a "choking hazard".

The retail giant has recalled a children's toy due to the "potential" hazard, with customers urged to return the item to store for a full refund.

A post on IKEA's official Facebook page reads: "IKEA asks all customers who own BLÅVINGAD fishing game, multicolour, to stop using it and return it to an IKEA store for a full refund. Proof of purchase is not required.

"IKEA has received reports of small metal rivets coming loose from the painted wooden shapes, presenting a potential choking hazard, especially for small children. No injuries have been reported."
