Kmart baby toy recall: ANKO Teething Llama

Kmart has recalled a baby teething toy due to a choking hazard. The ANKO Teething Llama, which has been in Kmart stores since April, has been pulled off the shelves. “If the cap detaches from the teether, it can pose a choking hazard for young children, which can lead to severe injury or death,” the ACCC said.

What is the hazard?

The cap that seals the mould entry point in one foot, may not be secure and could detach from the teether. If the cap detaches from the teether, it can pose a choking hazard for young children, which can lead to severe injury or death.

What should you do?

Immediately stop using the teether and return it to the nearest Kmart store for a full refund.

A sensory shape sorter with six different coloured and textured shapes, for young children from 6 months to 36 months.

What is the hazard?

The product’s red sorting cube, which has a clear top, may break, releasing a small ball. If released the small ball may pose a choking hazard for young children, which can lead to severe injury or death.

What should you do?
