Urgent recall of Harry Potter and Barbie stocking fillers over risk of nasty burns

FOUR children's water bottles have been recalled over fears they could cause nasty burns.

The popular stocking fillers, which cost between £8 - £12 online, have "weak joints".

It means hot water from the bottle could seep out and burn the user.

As a result, the manufacturer, Hunter Price International, has pulled the gifts from sale and is asking customers to stop using them "immediately."

Harry Potter, Barbie and Gabby’s Dollhouse bottles are affected.

They can be found on websites like UKtoyworld and FabFinds.

The Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS) said items with certain items and PO codes do not meet safety regulations.
