An urgent recall has been issued for kids' toys sold online over choking fears.
Irish parents have been advised to get rid of three toys sold online on Amazon in a warning by the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC). In an alert on Monday, the CCPC said that the products affected are the Rocky & Chao Wild Animal Hand Puppets, Caterbee Baby Crib Mobile, and The Soulcker Smart LED Strip Lights.
In its notice, the CCPC said: "The Rocky & Chao Wild Animal Hand Puppets and Caterbee Baby Crib Mobile present a choking risk due to the presence of small parts within these products." They also added that the Soulcker Smart LED Strip Lights contain "easily accessible batteries that can be swallowed by children", which poses a choking hazard and can cause damage to the gastrointestinal tract.
