Home Bargains recalls plush toy due to choking risk

The retailer is recalling its Happy Easter Plush Toys (25cm), which have been on sale online and in stores across the UK.

The plush toys are being recalled by Home Bargains as they pose a risk of choking children.

Home Bargains said: "The product presents a risk of asphyxiation as the fibrous stuffing in the toy is easily accessible due to the weakness of the seams.

"A small child may put the filling material in the mouth and choke."
