Home Bargains
The Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS) said: "The product presents a risk of choking as the rattling balls constitute a small part. A young child may place the small ball in their mouth and choke.
"The product does not meet the requirements of the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011."
Consequently, the product has been recalled from end users. Parents and carers of little ones should ensure children stop playing with the toy.
Home Bargains' official recall statement reads: "TJ Morris Ltd is recalling My First Drop & Roll Tower sold through Home Bargains stores, website and Quality Save stores, due to a potential risk of choking.
"The rattling balls are smaller than the required standard and a young child may place the small ball in their mouth and choke.
"If you have bought the product as detailed above, do not use it.
"Instead, return it to your local Home Bargains or Quality Save store to obtain a full refund or if you require further information."
Home Bargains apologised to affected customers for any inconvenience caused.
