What to do now
The risk with Oakes Leisure Limited Warrior Crossbow Toy is choking: a part can detach and fits inside a child’s airway.
- Take it away from young children now.
- Look for loose pieces where it was used.

Why it matters. Children under three put things in their mouths. Anything small enough to fit through a toilet-roll tube is a choking hazard for them.
If someone has been hurt
Look out for
- coughing, gagging or noisy breathing after playing with it

Getting your money back
