Asda recalls 'choke danger' toy

The toy was sold exclusively by Asda

Supermarket chain Asda has recalled a toy amid fears that a part could fall off and cause a child to choke.

Asda has stopped selling the "Mini-transport" toy, which went on sale on 21 October over the safety fears.

The toy contains three plastic vehicles - a blue train, red plane and orange car and bears the barcode number 5024446007510.

It was supplied exclusively to Asda by a company called Interak.

Asda became aware of the problem after a plastic funnel on the £1.29 toy came loose, because it had not been glued on properly.

Concerned

Rachel Fellows, spokeswoman for Asda, said today: "Despite rigorous quality procedures it appears that components that make up the toy could become detached and potentially constitute a choking hazard."

Asda urged people to return the toy for a full refund.
