⚠️ URGENT RECALL: Peppa Pig and Hey Duggee children’s books. Ladybird is recalling copies from specific printings of several Peppa Pig and Hey Duggee titles due to a potential choking hazard.

A manufacturing fault means the glitter varnish on the cover can lift and peel off, creating small flakes that could be dangerous for young children.

📚 Affected books:
Peppa Pig: Peppa Meets Father Christmas
ISBN: 9780241321539 | Print: 009
Peppa Pig: Peppa’s Night Before Christmas
ISBN: 9780241448625 | Prints: 002 & 003
Peppa Pig: Peppa Loves Easter
ISBN: 9780241476406 | Print: 002
Peppa Pig: Peppa Goes to Hollywood
ISBN: 9780241476772 | Prints: 002 & 003
Hey Duggee: Duggee and the Christmas Badge
ISBN: 9781405947350 | Print: 003

Only limited print runs from 2020 and 2021, manufactured in the UK, are affected.

🔎 You can find the unique print number on the copyright page inside the book. Look for copies marked ‘Printed in Great Britain’ or ‘Printed in the United Kingdom'.

If you have one of the affected books, take it away from small children immediately and return it to the retailer for a full refund – no receipt required.

We understand that recent infant formula recalls may be causing worry for parents and carers. Our information page explains which products are affected and what you should do.

Batches from brands including Aptamil, Cow & Gate and SMA have been recalled. If you have formula at home, check the batch code as affected products may still be in your cupboard.

If you have an affected batch:

- Stop using it
- Return it to the store for a replacement
- You can switch to another batch or brand
- If formula was prescribed, speak to a pharmacist or doctor first

⚠️ Urgent recall: Hobbycraft craft kits

Hobbycraft is recalling the Sand & Pom Pom Art Kit and Easter Bumper Craft Kit due to a potential health risk.

The play sand included in the kits may be contaminated with traces of asbestos.

Asbestos is a banned substance that can pose a risk to health even at low levels of exposure.

📋 Affected products:

• Sand & Pom Pom Art Kit - Product number 6669851000 (sold October 2023 to January 2026)

• Easter Bumper Craft Kit - Product number 6835991000 (sold January 2026)

If you have either product, stop using it immediately, keep it away from children, and return the sand vials to a Hobbycraft store for a full refund.

If you have the affected product:
Stop using the product immediately.

If the sand is still in its packaging, place it in a heavy-duty plastic bag, double tape it securely, label it clearly, and store in a secure location out of the reach of children.

If the sand has been used, clean-up areas where the product was used using wet cloths to avoid generating dust. Wear gloves and a mask. Double bag the sand, gloves, mask and cloths.

Keep children and other people away from areas where the sand has been used until the area has been cleaned.

Return the sand vials from the product to your nearest Hobbycraft store for a full refund.

If you are unable to get to a Hobbycraft store, please follow the instructions above and dispose of the sand in your general household waste.

Contact Hobbycraft for a full refund.
