Toy from Hungry Jack's has been withdrawn due to choking risk

Attention all parents and caretakers! It has come to our attention that a popular toy, the "Burping Garfield" cat-shaped plastic toy, included in Hungry Jack's children's meals across the nation, has been recalled due to safety concerns. The recall was initiated by Product Safety Australia, following the toy's failure to meet button battery standards set by Australian consumer law.

According to the consumer watchdog, this toy poses a potential risk of choking, serious injury, or even death if young children come into contact with the small button/coin batteries and accidentally swallow or insert them into their bodies. This is a serious matter and requires immediate action to ensure the safety of our little ones.

In light of this, parents and caretakers are strongly advised to discontinue the use of this product and place it out of reach of children. The PSA stated that the "Burping Garfield" toy does not meet the mandatory information standard for products containing button/coin batteries, as it lacks the necessary warning information. This means that the potential dangers of the toy were not properly disclosed to consumers.

For those who may have already purchased this toy, please note that it was available nationwide from May 20th to 30th. If you have one in your possession, we urge you to return it to your nearest Hungry Jack's restaurant for a free replacement with a non-battery toy. The safety and well-being of our children are of utmost importance to us, and we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

For further inquiries or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact Hungry Jack's by calling 1300 852 326 or emailing [email protected]. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in this matter. Let's work together to keep our little ones safe.
