John Lewis has issued a recall warning for four products of their My First Doll collection, over concerns that they could be a choking hazard for children.
The retailer issued a statement recalling four different toys from the My First Doll collection, over fears that children could choke on one of the doll's eyes.
Publishing a statement on their website, John Lewis explained: 'The safety of our customers is very important to us, so as a precaution we're recalling the following products as there is a risk part of the eye may become detached and present a potential choking hazard.'
Part of the My First Doll collection, the products recalled are the My first doll, girl; My first doll, boy; Baby twin set; and the My first doll bumper set.

Customers who bought one of the four products since 27th of September should take them off children immediately, and return them to a John Lewis store as soon as possible, where they can get a full refund.
The announcement continues: 'If you have bought one of these items from us since 27 September 2017, please stop using it, and return it to your nearest John Lewis or Waitrose Food & Home shop as soon as possible for a full refund.
'We're very sorry for any inconvenience or disappointment this product recall may cause you.'
According to the company's statement, only products with the batch code 1702 and 1703 - which can be checked on the back of the box and the sew-in label - are affected.
However, parents who remain concerned even if the products bought are from a different batch can also return them and get a full refund.
A spokesperson for the retailer said: 'The safety of our customers is of the utmost importance to us and as a precaution we recalled these products in December. We apologise for the inconvenience and the disappointment caused to our customers by this product recall.'
