New recall: Target removes popular item from shelves

Popular discount department store Target has issued a warning to parents after a popular children’s toy has been considered a potential “choking risk”.

The Young Ones Light and Sound Guitar sold at Target Australia, Target Country and their online store from July 2014 to September 2018 has been recalled after the item was deemed too dangerous for children to play with.

The company made the decision after a discovery where a small part of the toy could “detach with applied force”, which “may pose a choking risk to small children".

Due to the findings, the company has made the decision to remove the item from its shelves and has advised those who have purchased the item to “stop using the product” and return it to their closest Target store “as soon as possible".

Those who have purchased the item will receive a full refund from the company, regardless of having a receipt or not.

For further information, contact Target’s Customer Support Centre on 1300 753 567 or visit the company’s website.
