Penneys issues urgent recall of popular items over serious safety concerns

Penneys has issued an urgent recall of popular items over serious safety concerns sold to more than 8,000 customers.

Penneys is recalling two brands of children's toys sold to thousands of Irish parents due to a major choking hazard. 

The bottom part of the handle may become detached from the rattles, causing small parts which may be ingested by small children. 

If you believe that you may have purchased an affected product, discontinue use immediately and keep it out of the reach of children.

If you have purchased these products then please return it to any Penneys/Primark store where you will be offered a full refund. 

There are approximately 6,438 affected Wooden Music Shaker products in the Republic of Ireland, with 1,539 DTR M&M Maracas.
