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

Regulators attribute the risk to a small cardboard disc left on an elephant piece during manufacturing, breaching UK toy safety rules.

Overview

  • The active recall covers only batch code SP/001639/058/17.03.25 of Jungle Heads & Tails, with retailers saying other batches and Orchard Toys products are unaffected.
  • OPSS says the toy fails the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011 because a removable cardboard disc is a small part that could be swallowed by young children.
  • Customers are told to stop using the game immediately, keep it away from children, and either return it to Sainsbury’s or Argos for a refund or follow Orchard Toys’ claims process.
  • Orchard Toys is offering a £20 voucher with free delivery or a £9.50 refund once customers submit the box flap showing the batch code as proof of purchase.
  • The recall was issued just before Christmas and Orchard Toys reports no injuries to date.
