Parents have been issued an urgent warning over button battery concerns in a popular children’s toy.
The Yellow Emma Wiggle headband, with a yellow and black bow and four flashing lights, has been recalled over risks of choking, serious injury or death for young children.
Headbands sold after June 22, 2022 are included in the recall as they don’t include the required warning information and the batteries may not be adequately secured and may be accessible by young children.
If swallowed or placed inside their body, children could run the risk of serious injury and even death.
They’re used in remotes, watches, computers, calculators and a range of other household products and children’s toys.
Consumers have been urged to stop using the Yellow Emma Wiggle headband immediately and keep it out of reach of children.
A full refund is available for customers, according to the Product Safety Australia alert.
The product has been available for purchase at: Aussie Toys Online, ABC Kids Paradise, Etcetera Home & Gifts, J & P Designs, LatestBuy, Mighty Ape Limited, Nextra Kalgoorlie Newsagency, Rugs N Timber, Sanity, True Blue Toys Australia, Tates Toyworld, and The Wiggles.
