The £12 item, which fits all sizes up to 24 months, was identified as having a risk of injury.
This is because some of the zips may have sharp edges.
In a recall notice, ASDA warned that the issue affects all sizes and urgent parents to return the item for a full refund.
It said: "If you have purchased the George Baby 3PK Zip Rompers from Asda, please stop using immediately.
"Bring it back to your nearest store where you will be given a full refund. You do not need your receipt.
"We are very sorry for any inconvenience caused."
It comes after Smyths pulled a magic tricks box from the shelves after a chocking hazard saw it fail to meet safety requirements.
The Fantasma Delux Top Hat set comes with a plush rabbit, top hat, cape and over 150 tricks.
But there's a risk of the rabbit's nose falling off, which is small enough to become lodged in a child's throat.
The product therefore does not meet the requirements of the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011.
Shoppers who have the toy are advised to stop using it immediately and away from children.
Customers can return the product to their local branch and will be issued a refund.
It follows Grape Tree recalling Raw Unsalted Macadamia Nuts because Shiga toxin-producing E.coli was found in one of its batches.
The recall affects 250g packs of the nuts which have a best before date of July 11, 2026.
The store is warning customers who have bought the affected batch, which has a batch code of G41 5 101 250610, not to eat them.

Common food item could lower your risk of heart disease & type 2 diabetes, boffins claim
The study found that the product boosts 'good' cholesterol CHANGE OF HEART Common food item could lower your risk of heart disease & type 2 diabetes, boffins claim Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) BUTTER could actually reduce your risk of heart disease, scientists say.

Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Butter could actually reduce your risk of heart disease, scientists say Credit: Getty The study, published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition, found that butter boosts 'good' cholesterol - which helps to remove harmful fats known to cause heart attacks and strokes. Scientists from Boston University tracked 2,500 men and women over the age of 30 over decades, noting what they ate and how many went on to develop heart disease. Those who ate five grammes of butter a day or more were 31 per cent less likely to develop Type 2 diabetes - usually caused by poor diet and lifestyle - than those eating little or no butter. Margarines - often promoted as 'healthy' alternatives for butter - increased the risk of diabetes by more than 40 per cent and heart problems by 30 per cent. Researchers put it down to the unhealthy 'trans fats' used in margarines from the 1970s onwards - now largely ditched by spread manufacturers. Eating a portion of beans a day could also slash your risk of deadly heart attack or stroke, new research shows. Beans - whether they're dried, canned or frozen - can boost heart and metabolic health, according to scientists. Daily portions of chickpeas and black beans could serve as a "simple, cost-effective" way to reduce the risk of chronic diseases, they said. The new study links chickpeas to improved cholesterol levels, which blacks beans seemed to reduce inflammation.

Urgent recall of 50,000 faulty carbon monoxide detectors over 'deadly' health concerns
A safety systems company has issued an urgent recall for more than 50,000 faulty smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, warning device malfunctions could be deadly. Apollo America has called back its Combination Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detectors, the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced on Thursday. The model 51000-600 alarms may fail to sound off if fire or toxic gases are detected, putting people a serious risk of smoke inhalation, carbon monoxide poisoning or death, according to the CPSC. All of the detectors included in the recall are white and have a 'replace by' date range from June 2034 to October 2034 on the front. 'Apollo' and the model number are written on the back of it. The defective products were exclusively sold through Utah-based retailer Vivant online, or through door-to-door or telephone sales from June 2024 to October 2024. Costing roughly $50 to $100 each, Vivant is sending free replacements to those who purchased the affected detectors. The tens of thousands of households believed to have these detectors installed should replace them. However, people should not stop using the recalled alarms until they get a new one, the CPSC wrote. Safety officials also warned that consumers should be cautious while getting rid of detectors' non-rechargeable lithium batteries, stating they can not be tossed like regular garbage. 'Lithium batteries must be disposed of differently than other batteries, because they present a greater risk of fire,' the recall reads. 'Your municipal household hazardous waste (HHW) collection center or battery recycling boxes found at various retail and home improvement stores may accept this lithium battery for disposal.' People should reach out to their local HHW beforehand to make sure they accept lithium batteries. No one has reported any injuries or incidents related to the called back Apollo detectors. Apollo America, based in Michigan, manufactures devices that are sold across North America, according to the company's website. It is a subsidiary of The Halma Group, an England-based global group of safety equipment firms. Both smoke inhalation and carbon monoxide exposure could be detrimental to people's health. Carbon monoxide - a subtle killer - claims hundreds of American lives each year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Unlike smoke, carbon monoxide is a colorless and odorless gas that causes sickness and death if inhaled. More than 400 Americans die, roughly 100,000 are taken to the emergency room and about 14,000 are admitted to the hospital every year from unintentionally breathing in the gas. In February, three US tourists were found dead in a Belize hotel. Their toxicology reports revealed they were killed by 'fatal exposure to carbon monoxide poisoning.' Kaoutar Naqqad, 23, Imane Mallah, 24, and Wafae El Arar, 26, were found dead inside their room at the Royal Kahal Beach Resort in San Pedro. Each of the women died from acute pulmonary edema, a build-up of fluid in the lungs. A toxicology examination confirmed in March that the fatal condition was triggered by exposure to carbon monoxide poisoning. Local police believe a malfunctioning water heater in the women's room may have been to blame. Each of the women registered carbon monoxide saturation levels of around 60 percent. Saturation levels of 40 percent are enough to cause death. In another harrowing incident, the owner of an adored Baltimore restaurant died from carbon monoxide poisoning inside his own home, leaving his loved ones and customers heartbroken. Costas Triantafilos, 85, the owner of the famed Costas Inn, and his wife Mary were found unconscious inside their Glen Arm, Maryland, home in March. Baltimore County Fire Department officials rushed to the scene in response to reports of a cardiac arrest. But they soon detected high levels of the toxic gas flooding the home from a vehicle was left running in their garage, CBS reported. Costas tragically did not survive the carbon monoxide poisoning, while Mary was hospitalized and expected to recover. Signs of carbon monoxide poisoning often first present as flu-like symptoms including headache, weakness, upset stomach, and vomiting. Dr. Albert Rizzo, Chief Medical Officer for the American Lung Association, told 'Since it's odorless, tasteless, it can be very insidious and people don't often equate these kinds of symptoms with carbon monoxide poisoning.' Exposure can also lead to blurry vision and headaches, a dangerously fast heartbeat, seizures, loss of consciousness, shortness of breath, respiratory failure, cardiac arrest and death. Carbon monoxide is produced when fossil fuels burn without enough oxygen. Inhaling car or lawnmower exhaust is a leading cause. But people are also vulnerable to poisoning in the safety of their homes, especially if they live in smaller spaces.

Number of fat jab NHS prescriptions doubles in a year as 73% of Sun readers now think about using injections
Prescriptions for Mounjaro surged to 1.1million from just 3,300 a year earlier FAT JAB BRITAIN Number of fat jab NHS prescriptions doubles in a year as 73% of Sun readers now think about using injections Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) ENGLAND has become a fat jab nation as weight loss drug prescriptions double to almost three million in a year. Demand for drugs such as Ozempic and Mounjaro show no signs of slowing, with the NHS splashing out £269million on them in 2024-25. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 Weight loss drug prescriptions in England have doubled to almost three million in a year Credit: Getty 5 Prescriptions for Mounjaro surged to 1.1million from just 3,300 a year earlier Credit: Alamy It comes as a new Sun survey reveals 73 per cent of our readers are thinking of using them as they struggle to shift weight. Official figures show prescriptions for the big three — Ozempic, Mounjaro and Wegovy — rocketed from 1.4million in 2023-24 to 2.7million last year. The increase was driven by Mounjaro, regarded as the strongest jab, with prescriptions surging to 1.1million from just 3,300 a year earlier. Most were prescribed to people with type 2 diabetes, as the injections were designed to treat that condition, and have only recently been approved for weight loss alone. NHS figures suggest prescriptions in Wales also doubled last year, from approximately 34,000 to 70,000, and in Scotland from 40,000 to 50,000. The numbers are expected to rise again this year as the NHS introduces them through slimming clinics. More than a million people are also already buying the jabs privately. Dr Leyla Hannbeck, of the Independent Pharmacies Association, said: 'Never in my career have I seen a product with as much hype as these injections. 'The demand is absolutely huge and I expect it to keep increasing — the only way is up.' Clare Butler, 48, said the jabs also helped her mental health. Weight Loss Jabs - Pros vs Cons The mum, from Manchester, who has lost 4st 4lb, said: 'Mounjaro didn't only quieten the food noise, but it helped quieten the over-thinking, anxious thoughts that had consumed my life for so long.' She described it as, 'the best decision I've ever made for myself'. Research is revealing wide-ranging health benefits to the jabs, such as lowering risks of cancer, heart disease and dementia, yet warnings over weight loss drugs are also increasing. 5 Medics warn they must not be used in pregnancy, while trying to conceive or while breastfeeding, for fear they could lead to miscarriage or birth defects. They have also warned that rapid weight loss caused by the drugs could lead to bone loss and osteoporosis. Annual statistics from the NHS Business Services Authority show the total number of GLP-1 injections prescribed increased from 1,427,968 in the 2023-24 financial year to 2,734,499 in 2024-25. It was a 91 per cent spike — accounted for almost entirely by Mounjaro's growth. 5 Clare Butler lost 4st4lb on Mounjaro Credit: Clare Butler 5 Clare said the jabs not only helped her lose weight but improved her mental health Credit: Clare Butler The totals also included brands such as Saxenda, Ozempic and Wegovy. In the same period, the cost of prescribing rose from £137,808,297 to £269,276,366 — equal to 2.4 per cent of all NHS spending on pharmacy medicines, or £1 in every £42. The NHS said: 'We expect demand for weight loss drugs to continue to rise in the coming years.' The Department of Health added: 'We recognise the drugs' importance for treating type 2 diabetes and their exciting remit as new treatments for obesity.'
