The product recall states: ‘The plastic bag used for packaging has an area greater than 100mm x 100mm and the bag thickness measured as 0.024 ± 0.002mm is less than the minimum 0.038mm specified.

‘The bag therefore poses a potential suffocation hazard to young infants who may play with the packaging.
