Dealz issues urgent recall on popular product 'which can harm children's health'
The Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC) announced on Wednesday that Poundland UK, which trades as Dealz in the Republic of Ireland, has issued a recall of its 8PK Heart Balloons V Day due to chemical test failure required by toy safety standard.
According to the CCPC, the product recall has been issued as the product poses a chemical risk due to excessive levels of N-nitrosamines and N-nitrosatable substances. The CCPC warned that children may be exposed through skin contact or mouthing the balloons "which can harm children's health".
The model number is 939773, while the batch number is SS25 and the bar code is 5045735005543.
It is understood there are approximately 4,501 affected products in the Republic of Ireland.
Customers are being urged to stop using the product immediately, keep it out of the reach of children and return it to any Dealz store for a full refund.
"We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused," a Dealz spokesperson said of the recall.
"However, the safety and confidence of our consumers and the quality of our products is at the heart of everything we do.
"We are asking any consumers who purchased 939773 - 8PK HEART BALLOONS VDAY to stop using it and return it to Store for a full refund, no receipt is required."
For any questions in relation to this specific recall, customers are advised to get in touch with the Dealz Customer Relations Line on 0818 930 843 or via email on customer.relations@poundland.co.uk.
The recall comes just a week after Dealz pulled a popular baby cap from shelves due to safety fears.
The discount store issued a recall of its Pepco Baby Frotte Cap Blue product last Wednesday (June 11).
According to the CCPC, the button on the cap may detach from the garment, resulting in a small part that could easily be placed by a child in their mouth and subsequently swallowed, which could cause the child to choke.
