UK recalls toys over choking, asphyxiation, and safety risks; parents urged to check Gov.uk.

The UK has issued safety alerts for multiple children's toys, including the John Lewis Wooden Roast Dinner set due to choking hazards from loose fastenings, counterfeit Labubu plushies and a wrist strap, and water beads sold on Amazon and Desertcart that pose asphyxiation risks. Other affected items include a kids' trampoline with inadequate safety warnings, the Skillmatics Aqua Puffs toy, which expands in water and creates choking dangers, and several remote-control toys with insecure nickel-cadmium batteries. A Capybara Advent Calendar 2025 was pulled after a retractable blade was found. Some products were blocked at the border or removed from online marketplaces. Parents are urged to stop using affected items and check Gov.uk for recall details and corrective actions.
