M&S recalls 400 baby rattles over safety fears

Marks & Spencer is recalling around 400 children's rattles over concerns the balls inside the toy could fall out.

No injuries have been reported but the retailer warned the Twist & Turn Rattle could pose a hazard.

It urged any customers who had bought the £12 product to stop using it immediately and return it to any M&S store for a full refund.

A notice on their website said: "M&S has established that some of the rattles have been affected by a manufacturing fault.

"As a result, there is a possibility that the balls contained inside could be released.

"Whilst no injuries have been reported, as these small pieces could present a potential hazard, we are recalling the product and advise customers to stop using the item.

"As the safety of customers is the top priority, M&S is issuing a product recall notice for the small number (c.400) sold."

The rattle, which was on sale between November last year and July, cannot be returned to the firm's Simply Food or Outlet stores.

M&S said none of its other products are affected.
