Shop recalls children's toy sold to 30,000 Irish parents due to risk presented by chemical

 

 

Almost thirty thousand parents in Ireland are being asked to return a popular children's toy due to a safety concern. 

According to the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC), Flying Tiger Copenhagen is recalling all batches of their Skumvoks light clay mix due to a risk presented by a chemical in the product. 

The clays contain increased levels of boron and exposure may result in skin irritation, diarrhoea or vomiting. There can also be long-term impacts on children's health. 

The type/number of models affected includes 3036547 and 3014809 (barcode 0200030148097). 

There are approximately 29,421 affected products in the Republic of Ireland. 

Customers should stop using the product immediately and return it to any Flying Tiger Copenhagen for a full refund.

Flying Tiger’s customer care can also be contacted at email address customer-support@flyingtiger.com or by using the web form available here.
