A recent incident at Asda highlights the importance of product recalls, as a mother’s excitement over a bargain toy quickly turned to concern when she was alerted by fellow parents that the item had been recalled due to safety risks. The mum had shared her finds, including several reduced toys, in a popular Facebook group. Among these was a Hapello Sensory Roller, which she purchased for a mere 86p, down from its original price of £5. Group members swiftly issued warnings, stating that the sensory toy had been recalled for being dangerous, specifically mentioning a potential choking hazard.

Asda later confirmed the recall for the Hapello Sensory Roller (barcode 5063089161708), explaining that certain batches—specifically #34, #35, #36, #37, and #39—may pose a choking risk due to a small piece of plastic potentially dislodging during manufacturing. The toy is designed for children to explore shapes, textures, and sounds. Customers who bought the affected product are advised to stop using it immediately and return it to any Asda store for a full refund, with no receipt required.

In other news from Asda, the supermarket's in-house fashion brand, George, is experiencing a surge in popularity, particularly for a chic denim dress.
