Tesco urgently recalls children's product over choking fears as customers react

Tesco has announced it is recalling a children's product, and customers have rushed to share their thoughts.

The supermarket chain shared on Facebook that the manufacturer of certain children's cups sold in its stores discovered that they pose a choking hazard.

Unicorn, Dinosaur and Fox Nuby Incredible Gulp cups sold in Tesco between November 1 2021 and January 14 2022 with the batch codes WF10V and WG08V are being recalled.

Those who purchased one of the products in question are being urged not to use it, and to instead visit the Nuby UK website and fill in the product recall form to arrange for a return and refund.

Alternatively, shoppers can return it to a Tesco store where a full refund will be given — a receipt is not required.

Sharing the news on Facebook, Tesco wrote: "Nuby is recalling 2 batch codes of its Incredible Gulp cups. This is because there’s a small chance that the silicone straw and spout in the lid of the cup may be damaged, so it could become a potential choking hazard."

A third commented: "Another day another recalled product. The only Tesco posts that ever seen to come up are recalls. Maybe Tesco needs to buy from more trusted suppliers instead of cheapest all the time?!"

Another shared: "I threw the one I brought away as my granddaughter seemed to be struggling with it and I did not want to take the risk of her choking."
