Baby products recalled due to choking hazards

A range of baby products are being recalled due to safety concerns.

The Rock 'n' Roll walker, sold at The Baby Factory from June last year, and the Oball mini rattle and links, a pram attachment, were potential choking hazards, Consumer New Zealand said.

Small plastic parts could detach from the walker's tray while the links attached to the rattle's chain could break, it said.

The consumer watchdog advised buyers to return the items for a replacement or refund.

On Friday, the Warehouse voluntarily recalled a shipment of children's pyjamas amid concerns over buttons.

The retailer withdrew Hippo + Friends Sleepwear Essentials infant flannelette pyjamas, size 00 to 2-1/2, bought between January 24 and March 18.

The recall followed an independent assessment of the garment's button attachments, after a customer told The Warehouse their child was able to pull a button off their new pyjamas.

Customers could return the pyjamas to any Warehouse store for a refund, with or without a receipt.

Meanwhile, Cotton On Kids is recalling a baby sleep sack, available in eight colour combinations, due to safety concerns.

The bag has a two-snap closure at each shoulder, three-snap closure at the bottom and concealed zip on the side.

Cotton On said the stud fasteners were not secure and posed a choking risk.

It asked customers to return the product for a full refund.
