ASDA WARNING

Supermarket giant recalls its Disney Buzz Lightyear costumes amid strangulation fears

Kids' outfits don't carry necessary hazard warning in relation to a cord hanging from the wings on the costume

Asda has recalled all of its Disney Buzz Lightyear sound effect costumes after learning that they pose a risk of strangulation.

The retailer said the costumes do not carry the appropriate hazard warning on the label and are not suitable for children under 36 months because an attached cord on the wings presents a strangulation hazard.
