Irish parents warned to bin kid's bath toy as officials recall it over 'risk of suffocation'

Parents in Ireland are being warned to bin a children’s bath toy that is being sold on eBay, due to the dangers it poses.

The Competitions and Consumer Protection Commission posted the recall online on Thursday and cited a ‘risk of suffocation’ associated with the toy.

The notice reads: "A safety issue has been identified with Luclay bathtub Toys sold on the eBay platform.

"The product presents a risk of suffocation.

"The product’s blue spoon does not have any opening, divider or scalloped edge pattern and therefore presents a suffocation hazard because the spoon may form an airtight seal over the mouth and nose."
