Tesco has recalled a line of plush toys over fears they present potential choking hazards.

Horizon Procurement Ltd identified a manufacturing fault affecting a portion of products that may have poorly stitched seems.

  • Xmas Crazy Eye Dog: EAN 5060373642936
  • Fluff Ball Cows: EAN 5060373642417
  • Fluff Ball Bears: EAN 5060373642431
  • Xmas Crazy eye Mouse: EAN 5060373642912
  • Floppy Bunnies: EAN 506373642479

  • Fluff Ball Frogs: 5060373642462
