Parents are being warned that a toy called Worry Dolls could be dangerous, after three of the four products failed basic safety tests.
Leicestershire Trading Standards tested four of the dolls and found that some of them could be a choking hazard for younger children and some had hidden sharp points.
Children are supposed to tell the small doll their worries and put it under their pillow before they go to sleep after which a parent will carefully remove it. The child wakes in the morning to find the doll has gone, taking their worries with it.
