AN URGENT warning has been issued to parents after ASDA recalled a popular baby item.
The product has been taken off the shelves due to safety concerns and choking fears.
ASDA has recalled eight baby sleeping bags after choking hazard concerns
George Home has removed eight baby sleeping bags from their stock after several potential dangers were found.
They include the Happy Floral, The Lion King, Rainbow and Dino sleep bags, among others.
It was discovered buttons on the shoulder of some items could come loose and possibly fall off.
This would create a potential choking hazard for the new-borns to 36-month-olds for which the sleeping bags were designed.
Parents who have already purchased the recalled items are being urged to return them to a local store where they will be entitled to a full refund.
A spokesperson said: “We are very sorry for any inconvenience caused. If you would like any further information, please contact: Asda Customer Relations — 0800 952 0101.”
This comes as baby sleep bags from another popular retailer John Lewis, were recalled earlier this year.
Customers were asked to bring back certain products from the Winnie the Pooh range.
Again, it was found poppers on the bags could become loose and create a choking hazard.
In the past, sleep bags have been taken off the shelves for various other reasons.
Parents who bought from Sainsbury’s and Argos were once warned of products which may cause their infant to “overheat”.
What are product recalls?
Companies often issue product recalls if there’s an issue with a product that could be dangerous or inconvenient for the user.
But if you have to return a product that is faulty, you will usually be entitled to refund, repair or replacement, under the Consumer Rights Act.
Retailer’s websites often have product recall pages where they share details on items that need returning.
If a product is food-based, the Food Standards Agency, which regulates the industry, may post on Twitter about a recall too
