Asda has faced criticism from parents who have claimed that the supermarket's confetti balloons could pose a choking hazard.
Priced at £1.50, the party balloons from Asda's George Home section come with confetti inside - but one mum sparked a debate over the safety of the balloons after posting about them on Facebook. Some parents expressed fears that their children may inhale or swallow the confetti while blowing up the balloons.
The packaging on the balloons states that they are a potential hazard, recommending that a pump should be used to blow them up and that children should be supervised around them. But some customers hit out at the supermarket, claiming to have nearly choked on the confetti after accidentally inhaling it, The Mirror reports.
