ALERT: Online retailer Temu in urgent warning  to Irish parents amid choking risk in products

Customers should stop using both these products immediately and keep them out of the reach of children.

Safety issues have been identified in two separate children's items which were available on Temu, an online marketplace known for their discounted stock, amid fears they could lead to choking. 

The first of two recalls was for the popular Broun indoor swinging set. The risk of choking was reported to the competition and consumer protection commission due to the item featuring small wooden balls, a potential hazard if small children were to put these in their mouth. 

At present, there are approximately 21 affected products in the Republic of Ireland.   

The bar code is 4131130148, with the batch number being 2023-536.  

The second issue comes from a fun floating bath toy, which is in the shape of a turtle.
