Popular children's playpen recalled over choking fears

A popular children’s playpen has been recalled from Australia’s largest baby goods retailer over a defect that could become a choking hazard for young children.

The Tikk Tokk wooden play pen, sold at Baby Bunting stores around Australia, has a manufacturing fault in one batch sold between February 1, 2019 and April 12, 2019.

“Due to a manufacturing fault in one batch, the spring ball inside the playpen that locks the moulded plastic corners into place may become loose,” Product Safety’s recall reads.

“If the spring ball becomes loose, it could pose a choking hazard to babies and young children.”

The batch number on affected packaging is TI470CF-BB.

Customers are being advised to check their playpens to confirm the spring balls are firmly in place. If they are found to be loose, the product can be returned with proof of purchase to Baby Bunting for a full refund.
