A popular children’s teething toy has had to be pulled from Kmart shelves over a defect which could potentially lead to death.

A new alert has been issued for the Kmart Australia Anko Teething Llama, which is made of rubber, allowing newborns and infants to chew on it to relieve teething pain.

The cap which seals the mould entry point in one foot has been found to not be secure and could detach from the toy completely.

Product Safety Australia has issued an urgent warning to any parents who may have bought the toy.

“If the cap detaches from the teether, it can pose a choking hazard for young children, which can lead to severe injury or death,” the organization said.

The product was recalled over fears children could die due to a small part of the toy that is susceptible to chewing.

The products have been sold across hundreds of Kmart stores nationally and internationally, as well as online.
