"Only the Best Before date listed in this notice is affected." This poses a serious risk for anyone with an allergy or intolerance to the listed allergens.

Symptoms of a milk allergy can include itchy rashes, swelling of the face and vomiting. Similar symptoms appear for those with an intolerance to fish.

The supermarket added: "If you have purchased any of the above products, do not eat it. Instead, follow the below instructions. Check if you have bought any of the affected products.

"Please return to any Iceland store where a full refund will be given. No receipt is required."

"If a child presses the sewn seams of the doll with sufficient force, the seams could give way making it possible for the child to access the stuffing material inside.

"If removed, this stuffing material could present a choking hazard."
