The retailer says that it has received two separate reports of the button on the bibs coming loose, and while no medical treatment was required, the button could have been swallowed presenting a choking hazard.

Customers who own MATVRÅ bibs have been urged to stop using them and return them to an IKEA store for a full refund. Proof of purchase is not required for a full refund.

In a statement about the recall on its website, IKEA wrote: "We apologise for any inconvenience caused and thank you for your understanding."
