Orchard Toys Recalls Jungle Heads & Tails Over Choking Risk as Sainsbury’s and Argos Pull Stock

Customers are instructed to stop using the affected batch, with redress offered via refunds or a £20 voucher.

Overview

  • The OPSS says the game presents a serious choking risk because a small cardboard disc was left on the elephant playing piece, breaching the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011.
  • The recall is limited to batch SP/001639/058/17.03.25, and no other Jungle Heads & Tails batches or Orchard Toys products are affected.
  • The urgent notices were issued hours before Christmas Day, prompting retailers to remove the product from sale and advise keeping it away from children.
  • Orchard Toys asks buyers to send the box flap showing the batch code to receive a claim pack for either a £20 online voucher with free delivery or a £9.50 refund.
  • Sainsbury’s and Argos say customers may alternatively return the item in store for a full refund, and officials report no injuries linked to the issue.
