Warning to parents as baby shirt is recalled over urgent choking fears

An urgent warning has been issued over an item of children's clothing which could result in the risk of choking.

The Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC) has released a product recall for a Zara Kids, Blue Baby Shirt with sleeves, of which approximately 591 products have been sold within the Republic of Ireland.

"The risk associated with the product is that of choking due to insufficient attachment of some of the buttons on the garment, a button may become loose which may be swallowed by a child which could cause them to choke," the warning states.
