The Amazon product presents a risk of choking

Parents in Ireland are being advised to heed a recent Amazon recall published by the Competitions and Consumer Protection Commission on June 1.

According to officials, a safety issue has been identified with a Baby Tissue Box Toy Elephant, which was being sold on the online platform.

The product presents a risk of choking as the metal zip on the underside of the product can detach and become a small part.

The small part may be placed in the mouth and swallowed, causing a young child to choke.
