Co-op recalls chocolate Santas over battery fears
The Co-op grocery chain has announced a nationwide recall of 165,000 hollow milk chocolate Santa figures after two alleged tampering incidents.
A spokesperson for the Co-op said two of the chocolate figures had been found to contain a small button-cell battery.
It is thought that the tampering took place after the Santas left the factory.
Surgeons recently warned that button batteries pose a potentially deadly risk to young children.
