United KingdomPMS Squishy Dino Egg (model 543435, barcode 505056570175) and Squishy Unicorn Egg (model 543436, barcode 505056570182) are moulded coloured eggs containing an aqueous solution, beads and a small plastic dinosaur or unicorn. They were recalled because they can burst during normal use, releasing small parts and an aqueous solution found to contain excess aerobic microbials, creating a serious microbiological and choking risk that may cause adverse health effects for certain consumers such as those who are immunocompromised. Stop using the products immediately and contact the distributor you bought them from for redress.
