Coles Easter plush toys recalled



A set of assorted Easter plush toys for sale at Coles from 26 February to 20 March this year have been recalled due to posing a choking risk for young children.

The Coles Easter bunny squeezer pals in blue, grey and purple colours, Coles Easter light-up bunny and Coles Easter light-up chicken products do not comply with the mandatory standard for toys for children up to and including 36 months of age.

Children may be able to access the polyester filling because of faulty stitching, which poses a risk of choking, suffocation or death to young children if they can access the polyester filling inside the plush toys and put it in their mouths.

Consumers should stop using the toys immediately and store them out of reach of children.

Return them 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.

For more information contact Coles Customer Care on 1800 061 562 between 8.30am to 6pm Monday to Friday.
