With only weeks until Christmas, parents have been warned a number of items - which could have been bought as presents - may pose a risk.

According to Kent Live , safety checks identified the potential problems which led all three retail giants to recall the products as a precaution.

Parents have been urged to return the items back to stores where they will receive a full refund.
