Due to safety concerns, a well-liked Christmas pillow marketed in the Republic of Ireland has been the subject of an immediate recall, reports The Mirror.
The Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC) of Ireland warned the public on Thursday about a safety concern with the Reindeer Shaped Assorted Cushions that are marketed by Wilko and The Range.
A range of Christmas pillows in shapes like reindeer, penguins, and gingerbread have been available at the Range shop. However, it is now recognised that they may provide a choking threat to young children, reports The Mirror.
The Reindeer Shaped Assorted Cushions’ seams may tear as a result of shoddy sewing, the CCPC claims, and the cushion’s contents may fall free, posing a choking hazard.
In the Republic of Ireland, about 101 goods are impacted. The impacted goods have batch number 53324 and barcode 9404909000, reports The Mirror.
Customers are advised by the CCPC to discontinue using this product right away and to keep it out of children’s reach.
“Customers should stop using the product immediately and return it to any The Range store for a full refund,” the notice states. If customers have any further queries in relation to this recall, please contact The Range customer care team here,” reports The Mirror.
Following Lidl Ireland’s urgent recall of their Deluxe Sriracha Cheddar Cheese Wedge due to the presence of Listeria monocytogenes, this most recent product recall follows suit.
A statement on the Food Standard Authority of Ireland (FSAI) website warns: “In rare cases, the infection can be more severe, causing serious complications, reports The Mirror.
“Some people are more vulnerable to Listeria monocytogenes infections, including pregnant women, babies, and people with weakened immune systems, including the elderly. The incubation period (time between initial infection and first symptoms appearing) is on average three weeks but can range between three and 70 days,” reports The Mirror.
