Dealz issues urgent recall on popular product 'which can harm children's health'
Well-known discount store Dealz has issued an urgent recall for a popular product sold in Ireland which 'can harm children's health'.
The Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC) announced on Wednesday that Poundland UK, which trades as Dealz in the Republic of Ireland, has issued a recall of its 8PK Heart Balloons V Day due to chemical test failure required by toy safety standard.
According to the CCPC, the product recall has been issued as the product poses a chemical risk due to excessive levels of N-nitrosamines and N-nitrosatable substances. The CCPC warned that children may be exposed through skin contact or mouthing the balloons "which can harm children's health".
The model number is 939773, while the batch number is SS25 and the bar code is 5045735005543.
It is understood there are approximately 4,501 affected products in the Republic of Ireland.
Customers are being urged to stop using the product immediately, keep it out of the reach of children and return it to any Dealz store for a full refund.
"We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused," a Dealz spokesperson said of the recall.
"However, the safety and confidence of our consumers and the quality of our products is at the heart of everything we do.
"We are asking any consumers who purchased 939773 - 8PK HEART BALLOONS VDAY to stop using it and return it to Store for a full refund, no receipt is required."
For any questions in relation to this specific recall, customers are advised to get in touch with the Dealz Customer Relations Line on 0818 930 843 or via email on customer.relations@poundland.co.uk.
The recall comes just a week after Dealz pulled a popular baby cap from shelves due to safety fears.
The discount store issued a recall of its Pepco Baby Frotte Cap Blue product last Wednesday (June 11).
According to the CCPC, the button on the cap may detach from the garment, resulting in a small part that could easily be placed by a child in their mouth and subsequently swallowed, which could cause the child to choke.

Urgent recall for baby teething product over 'possible presence of glass pieces'
An urgent warning has been issued to Irish parents after a popular baby teething product was recalled over safety fears. The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) announced this week that a batch of Weleda Baby Teething Powder is being pulled from shelves due to 'the possible presence of glass pieces'. The product helps to calm and soothe swollen, painful red gums for babies and children suffering from the symptoms of teething. However, a specific batch of Weleda Baby Teething Powder is now being recalled due to its potential to cause serious harm if consumed, as it could contain glass fragments. The implicated batch of Weleda Baby Teething Powder has a pack size of 60g, a batch code of 231302, and expiry date of 11/26. Retailers have been requested to remove the implicated batch from sale and display recall notices at point-of-sale. Wholesalers/distributors have also been told to contact their affected customers and recall the implicated batch and provide a point-of-sale recall notice to their retail customers. Parents have also been urged "not to administer the implicated batch to infants or children". The product is being recalled globally, as a similar notice was given to consumers in Australia two weeks ago. According to reports, a glass fragment was found in one bottle which is thought to be the result of a mistake in the packaging process. Meanwhile, a separate recall notice has been issued for a popular baby cap due to choking fears, with hundreds of affected products purchased in Ireland. Poundland UK, which trades as Dealz in the Republic of Ireland, issued a recall of its Pepco Baby Frotte Cap Blue product. Ireland's Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC) highlighted the recall on its website this week, revealing that a risk of choking has been identified with the product. According to the CCPC, the button on the cap may detach from the garment, resulting in a small part that could easily be placed by a child in their mouth and subsequently swallowed, which could cause the child to choke.
