A product for babies and toddlers has been recalled due to a choking hazard risk.

The Lorelli Silicone Rattle Teether is a sensory toy which is sold in multiple colours.

It contains a ball in the middle of the teether but does not meet the requirements of the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011.

The Office for Product Safety and Standards said the toy presents a risk of choking because the ball within the teether can detach during use, creating small parts which fit within a small parts cylinder.

"These small parts pose a choking risk to young children, particularly those under 36 months of age who have a natural tendency to explore objects by placing them in the mouth," added the authority.

The product has been recalled from end users by Lorelli.

Owners are advised to stop using the product immediately and to keep it out of reach of children.

Suffolk Trading Standards has also advised people to contact the distributor they purchased the product from to request redress.
