Children’s winter clothing is being urgently recalled over a choking hazard.
River Island is asking customers to return the baby girls pink peplum quilted snowsuit and baby boys blue quilted snowsuit due to the issue.
The Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC) warned that silver poppers on the garments may become loose and detach.
“If a child puts the small part in their mouth, it can block airways and cause choking,” the CCPC said.
The product numbers – which can be found printed on the care label inside the snowsuits – are 458873 and 458872.
There are approximately 10 affected products in the Republic of Ireland, sold by River Island from August to October this year. The product was also available in Next and Very Ireland.
Anyone who has purchased any affected product is asked to discontinue its use immediately, keep it out of the reach of children, and return it to any River Island store for a full refund.
Further information can be found on River Island's recalls page or by contacting their customer service team.
Those who purchased the recalled items from Next or Very are asked to contact the relevant retailer to arrange a refund.
