Britons have been urged to check their children’s magazines after Tesco issued a recall for a popular Peppa Pig publication.
The affected magazine, issue 419, features a cover-mounted toy that poses a serious choking risk to young children.
Tesco has confirmed the toy attachment can break apart into small pieces.
In light of this, Tesco and publisher Story House Egmont have issued a recall, warning families to “stop using the product immediately” and take swift action to protect their children.
Story House Egmont confirmed the product is “dangerous”, stating: “The key comes apart and causes small parts, which means the product is not safe for children under three years as the labelling indicates.”
The company emphasised: “Safety is of paramount importance to us, so we advise anyone who has this gift to dispose of it.”
Families who have purchased the affected magazine can return it to any Tesco store for a full refund, without needing to provide proof of purchase.
The supermarket has confirmed that staff have been briefed on the recall and will process returns straight away.
