IKEA, which has branches in Ashton and Warrington, as well as a new smaller Plan & Order Point which opened in Stockport last month, said: "IKEA asks all customers who own the BLAVINGAD 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."

Anyone with the product can contact customer services on 0203 645 0010.

IKEA's new Stockport branch opened inside Merseyway Shopping Centre and is dedicated to kitchen and bedroom planning. Customers can visit for home furnishing advice and expertise to help design their ideal space, according to the retail giant.
