TK Maxx recalls multiple products that pose 'safety risk' - including 'banned' ingredient and 'choking hazard'

The apparel and home goods company said: "We are recalling the above product due to a safety risk.

The product contains melatonin, which is not permitted in such products and is a "prescription-only medicine."

This comes as a tea was urgently pulled from UK stores including TK Maxx, as it could contain insects.

TK Maxx and Homesense recalled selected batches of Kintra Foods Organic Premium Leaf Teas feared to contain critters. The affected batches were 6057, 6071, 6618, 6126 and 6207.

The retailer said: "We are recalling selected batches of the above products due to a food safety risk. Some products from these batches have been found to contain insects."

Referring to the Fallani Sleep & Relax Melatonin Gummy Bears, TK Maxx stated: "The product was on sale in TK Maxx and Homesense stores between May 2024 and June 2024.

"The product code shown on the price sticker and the receipt will be 650971. The product is marked with the batch number 'L21030' and expiry date '03 2026'.

"If you purchased the product, please stop using it immediately and return it to any TK Maxx or Homesense store for a full refund."

TK Maxx shoppers should be aware of another product recall. Children's toy The Dreamgro Lullaby Travel Soother – Mermaid has been pulled from shelves.

TK Maxx said: "We are recalling the above products due to a safety risk. The products feature a gold star decoration which may detach easily and present a choking hazard.

"The products were on sale in our stores and online between April 2024 and May 2024.

"The only affected products are the mermaid design with a gold star which comes in two colours – blue and pink.
