Children’s book sold at Tesco, Asda and Sainsbury’s recalled over fears tots could choke on it
TESCO, Asda and Sainsbury's have stopped selling a Ladybird's children's book over fears small kids could choke on it.
Penguin, which publishes the Ladybird range of books, issued an urgent recall notice this week after discovering a manufacturing fault with a Hey Duggee story.
Small parts of the foil lamination on the cover of the book can be pulled off, causing a choking hazard for young children.
If you have a copy of Hey Duggee: Duggee and the Dinosaurs you should take it away from small children immediately and return it to the shop where you bought it.
Asda, Tesco and Sainsbury's have confirmed that you can get a full refund in store, and you don't have to provide a receipt.
The book had been on sale for around £4 and has an ISBN number of 9781405948630.
If you can't get to a store or if you need more information you can contact Ladybird's customer services at customersupport@penguinrandomhouse.co.uk.
Penguin said the safety of its readers is its top priority and apologised for any inconvenience caused.
This week Tesco recalled baby food over fears it contains bits of plastic that could harm tots.
Cat food sold at Sainsbury’s and Pets at Home has also been recalled due to concerns it could cause serious illness in pets.
