Primark has warned parents to stop their children playing with a water toy they flogged - for fears of it exploding and 'injuring' kids.
The fashion retailer issued an urgent recall about their Water Balloon Pump toy product after it was found to not meet 'usual high safety standards'.
They claim a manufacturing fault means there is a risk the pink and blue water balloon pumps might rupture and hurt those playing with them.
Primark explained that when the 'faulty' product is used to pump up a balloon the filling pressure increases and can rupture, posing a risk of 'physical injury' to a customer.
The popular chain posted about the recall on their website on September 17 this year after the product was sold between January 2023 and September 2023.
The affordable clothing shop has warned customers to stop using the product immediately and return it to any Primark store without needing proof of purchase.
A Primark spokesperson said: "We have learnt the product does not meet our usual high safety standards.
"We've identified that in some of the products the safety feature is not working as intended due to a manufacturing fault.
"This can increase the filling pressure upon pumping, and then the product might rupture causing a risk of physical injury.
"Please stop using this product immediately.
"Please return this product to any of our Primark stores. It is not necessary to show proof of purchase.
"We apologise for any inconveniences and concerns this may cause.
"Spread the word about this recall, especially if you know that this recalled product was offered, borrowed or sold to someone else."
