A recall has been issued for a toy sold in the UK due to it presenting a "serious risk of choking".
The Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS) has issued a recall for Mr Pickles Douglas the Deer Soft Toy, sold before November 15, 2024.
The toggles on the backpacks can easily detach, creating small parts that pose a choking hazard to young children.
The children's toy fails to meet the requirements set out in the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011.
