Thousands of colourful animal soft toys from claw vending machines have been recalled due to safety concerns.
The Competition and Consumer Protection Commission has said there are approximately 15,000 of the affected products in the Republic of Ireland.
The soft toys were stocked in claw machines between June 2022 and May 2023 at children’s activity centres in the southwest.
The three centres are Premier Play Ireland Limited (The Playdium) in Tralee, Co Kerry; Monkey Maze in Glanmire, Co Cork; and Little Rascals, Mallow, Co Cork.
The CCPC has said the toys are being recalled as they do not comply with safety regulations.
The products do not have a CE mark and the CCPC said it likely they present a serious risk to children.
Anyone who identifies these toys are advised to stop using them and keep them out of the reach of children.
