Parents are being made aware of an urgent product recall for for hundreds of toys sold at Sainsbury’s and Argos. It has been discovered that the item poses a dangerous risk to children<\/a>.<\/p>\n Orchard Toys announced that it is withdrawing its Jungle Heads and Tails toy as it poses a significant risk of choking. The recall was issued on Tuesday, December 23, just before Christmas<\/a> Day.<\/p>\n The Government’s Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS) stated: “The product presents a serious risk of choking as the elephant has a cardboard disc which should have been removed from the nose as part of the manufacturing process. This disc is a small part, reports the Mirror<\/a>.<\/p>\n “Small parts pose a choking hazard to young children, particularly those under 36 months of age who have a natural tendency to explore objects by placing them in their mouths. The product does not meet the requirements of the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011.”<\/p>\n The Jungle Heads and Tails toy consists of 24 cards and includes an elephant playing piece. “The product has been recalled from end users,” added the OPSS.<\/p>\n “Consumers are advised to stop using the product immediately and keep it out of reach of small children. Return the product to the distributor or to Orchard Toys for redress.”<\/p>\n Sainsbury’s further advised in its recall notice: “If you have purchased one of the above products with the affected batch code, please visit www.orchardtoys.com\/jungleheadsnotice<\/a> to arrange a replacement, credit voucher or refund.<\/p>\n “Customers should remove and retain the box flap detailing the batch code, and dispose of the product. Alternatively, customers can return the product to Sainsbury’s for a full refund.”<\/p>\n The affected batch code is labelled SP\/001639\/058\/17.03. 25.<\/p>\n Jungle Heads and Tails confirmed that no other batches have been impacted, nor have any other Orchard Toys branded products.<\/p>\n It’s not the only Christmas-related recall we have reported on recently, as many festive treats have been pulled from shelves following multiple health related concerns, particularly relating to allergy issues.<\/p>\n The Food Standards Agency (FSA) recently advised that Tesco had withdrawn its Free From 4 Christmas Chocolate Flavoured Cupcakes<\/a> as they were found to contain undeclare milk.<\/p>\n In an allergy alert, it was announced that the recall affects a 220g pack of four cakes and all best-before dates up to and including January 17, 2026.. No other Tesco products are said to have been affected by the recall.<\/p>\n![\"The](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0_JS391494855-1.jpg\")
