A popular toy brand is issuing a recall of accessories sold to hundreds of Irish parents due to a major safety concern.
According to the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC), Build-A-Bear Workshop UK Limited has issued a voluntary recall of the Black, Fuchsia and Rainbow Roller Skates Accessory, and the Skull Skateboard Accessory.
The Black, Fuchsia and Rainbow skates (batch numbers 01/22, 04/22, 08/22, 10/22 and 11/22) reportedly have a sharp/ rough edge at the bottom bolt of the skates which may cause injuries to the user such as cuts.
The type/number of models are the following:
The bar codes are the following:
Only the Black Skates, Fuchsia Skates, and Rainbow Skates sold in stores between 26 June 2022 and 29 April 2023 and online between 12 June 2022 and 29 April 2023 with the above bar codes are affected.
There are 587 affected products in the Republic of Ireland.
The risk associated with the Skull Skateboard is possible choking as the wheel and axle rod can detach, creating small parts.
These small parts may be placed in the mouth and swallowed, causing a young child to choke.
The type/number of the affected model is SKU:427169, the batch numbers are 04/22 DP002 and 10/22 DP004, and the bar code is 000000427169.
Only the Skull Skateboards sold in stores between 21 August 2022 and 29 April 2023 and online between 7 August 2022 and 29 April 2023 with the above bar code is affected.
There are 371 affected products in the Republic of Ireland.
If you purchased one of these products, please discontinue use immediately and keep it out of the reach of children.
Customers can return the product to your local Build-A-Bear Workshop for a full refund.
For any further information please phone Build-A-Bear’s Guest Services line at 1800 882 974.
