Coles recalls Easter teddies over choking hazard

Customers have been asked to return the product to any Coles supermarket or Coles Local store for a full refund.

Coles has recalled its range of plush Easter bunnies and chickens over a potential choking hazard.

The grocery giant said on Thursday, March 21, that faulty stitching in its "Assorted Coles Easter Plush Toys" could allow children to get access to the polyester stuffing inside, presenting a potential risk.

The warning comes just over a week from Easter.

The products were sold between February 26 and March 20 at Coles supermarkets, Coles Local stores nationally and via Coles Online, the statement said.

"Customers should ensure the toys are kept out of reach of children," Coles said.

Customers have been asked to return the product to any Coles supermarket or Coles Local store for a full refund.

Coles Online customers can receive a full refund or credit by contacting Coles Online Customer Care on 1800 455 400 and should then securely dispose of the toy.

"We apologise to our customers for any inconvenience," the grocery chain said.
