Orchard Toys Recalls Jungle Heads & Tails Sold at Sainsbury's and Argos Over Choking Hazard

Regulators flagged a manufacturing fault on the elephant piece, with the recall limited to batch SP/001639/058/17.03.25.

Overview

  • The UK Office for Product Safety and Standards issued the notice on December 24 and advised consumers to stop using the toy immediately and keep it away from young children.
  • The risk stems from a small cardboard disc left on the elephant playing piece during production, which constitutes a small part and breaches Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011.
  • Affected units were sold nationwide through Sainsbury's and Argos, with the action framed as an end‑user recall.
  • Customers are directed to return the product to the retailer or Orchard Toys for a replacement, credit voucher or refund, with guidance provided at www.orchardtoys.com/jungleheadsnotice.
  • Orchard Toys states the issue is confined to the specified batch and confirms no other products or batches are affected.
