Parents and guardians have been warned of a potentially fatal issue with a child’s toy truck.
The Competition and Consumer Protection Commission announced on Thursday it had ordered a recall of a “2-Play Construction Truck” manufactured by Toys Amsterdam.
The commission said the product presents a risk of injury as the toy can break during use making the button batteries inside accessible. “A child can swallow one or more of the batteries which can lead to gastrointestinal perforation causing a fatal injury” the authority said.
The brand is 2-Play. The type/number of model is 510213.096 and the batch number is 038803. The barcode is 8713219366479.
