Popular Baby Toy Recalled Ahead of Holidays Due to Choking Hazard

Parents are urged to promptly stop using a popular baby toy⁢ sold at major retailers Kmart and Target after ⁤a recall was issued due to a potential choking hazard.

The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) announced the‍ recall of the Anko soft activity ball this week. The toy, which features rattles ‍on two sides, poses a⁤ risk because the plastic domes containing small balls could detach, ‍allowing the small ⁣parts⁣ to fall out.

“Ther are concerns that young children may choke on the small balls if they become dislodged from the toy,” the ACCC stated in its recall notice.

The recall comes at a crucial time as families prepare for the holiday season, when‍ many are purchasing gifts for young children. Parents are advised to⁢ immediately stop using the toy and ‍return it to the place of purchase⁢ for a full refund.

What ‍to do if you have the recalled toy:

Stop using the toy immediately.
Keep the toy out of reach⁢ of children.
* Return the toy to Kmart or⁢ Target for a⁤ full refund.

The ACCC encourages consumers to check the recall notice on their website for further details and images of the affected product.
