We have been alerted by Tesco that it is recalling its Free From Katsu Curry Meal Kit and its Free From Sweet & Sour Meal Kit from sale because they may contain soya, which is not correctly declared on the ingredient label.

The product is therefore unsuitable for and should be avoided by anyone with an allergy or intolerance to soya.

I teach management of choking in all my First Aid courses but prevention is better than management!

⚠️Urgent recall: Home Bargains Happy Easter Plush Toys
(Pink Rabbit, White Rabbit and Yellow Chick).

These toys pose a serious risk of asphyxiation. The limbs of the toy may detach, exposing stuffing that could be a choking hazard.

If you’ve bought one, stop using it immediately and return it to Home Bargains for a full refund.

Barcode: 10811016
Affected batch codes: All

It’s that time of year again when mini eggs are lining the supermarket shelves. But, did you know that, just like grapes, they are the perfect size to block a small child’s airway and choke them? And, their hard shell can make it difficult to dislodge with standard first aid techniques.

With whole grapes we advise cutting them in half lengthways and ideally into quarters to create thin strips. But chopping up mini eggs isn’t as easy. So, what can you do?

1. Hide them from the children and eat them yourself – good luck with that!

2. Break them into small pieces with a rolling pin. Or, crush them in a pestle and mortar. Or melt them a little first.

3. Opt for a different treat. Larger, hollow eggs are much safer for little ones.
