It’s that time of year again when mini eggs are lining the supermarket shelves. But, did you know that, just like grapes, they are the perfect size to block a small child’s airway and choke them? And, their hard shell can make it difficult to dislodge with standard first aid techniques.

With whole grapes we advise cutting them in half lengthways and ideally into quarters to create thin strips. But chopping up mini eggs isn’t as easy. So, what can you do?

1. Hide them from the children and eat them yourself – good luck with that!

2. Break them into small pieces with a rolling pin. Or, crush them in a pestle and mortar. Or melt them a little first.

3. Opt for a different treat. Larger, hollow eggs are much safer for little ones.

For more practical tips and advice to keep children safe from choking take a look at our guide: https://capt.org.uk/resources/choking-fact-sheet/

⚠️ 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.
