ALERT: Parents urged to keep toy 'out of reach of children' amid safety concerns

The Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC) has issued a product recall on a popular Jumbo Balloon Pumper sold by The Works. 

The product has been recalled due to presenting a risk of injury as there is no mechanism to prevent it becoming over-pressurised. The CCPC said: "An over-pressurised container could shatter, potentially leading to injuries such as cuts."

Parents have been urged to keep the Jumbo Balloon Pumper out of reach of children and to stop using the product.
