If you have any Baby Headbands for your little one then you need to check them against this recall, as the company that make Nursery Time Baby Headbands has recalled their entire range of headbands due to a choking risk.

You can see the full recall along with pictures to make it easeir to identify the products affected hereon the manufacturers website.
For your information: as mentioned also on the trading standards page linked above, it is only the headband GP-2515-0641 that is affected (note that this is not the item pictured above but that shown at http://www.sheldonplc.co.uk/baby-girls-headband-pink-flower-2963.htm ).
The initial recall in Dec. 2015 was done for all items only as a precautionary measure whilst further tests were being made. It turned out that for this one item GP-2515-0641 the diamante was glued rather than sewn as for all the other styles. None of the other styles have failed any tests and are thus safe to use (certificates exist).
