Urgent recall of popular baby cap, with hundreds of affected products in Ireland
An urgent recall has been issued for a popular baby cap due to choking fears, with hundreds of affected products purchased in Ireland.
Poundland UK, which trades as Dealz in the Republic of Ireland, has issued a recall of its Pepco Baby Frotte Cap Blue product.
Ireland's Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC) highlighted the recall on its website this week, revealing that a risk of choking has been identified with the product.
According to the CCPC, the button on the cap may detach from the garment, resulting in a small part that could easily be placed by a child in their mouth and subsequently swallowed, which could cause the child to choke.
The affected brand is Pepco and the product codes are 871590 and style number is 871586. The barcodes are 5045731150841 and 5045731150858. All sizes are affected, they are 6-12M and 12-36M.
There are approximately 568 of the affected products in Ireland.
"We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused," a Dealz spokesperson said of the recall. "However, the safety and confidence of our consumers and the quality of our products is at the heart of everything we do."
Customers who have purchased a product affected by this recall are advised to stop using it immediately, to keep it out of the reach of children and return it to any Dealz outlet, where they will receive a full refund. No receipt is required to get the full refund.
