The recall affects all Aldi stores across Australia. The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) alerted consumers to significant safety risks associated with the game.

Safety Concerns

The ACCC highlighted that the elephant playing piece contains a small cardboard disc. This disc can detach from the card, posing a serious hazard, including risks of choking or injury to young children.

Compliance Issues

Aldi’s ‘Jungle Head & Tails’ card game does not meet the mandatory safety standards for toys intended for children aged 36 months and younger. The ACCC pointed out that this disc should have been removed during manufacturing.

Consumer Advisory

• Aldi advises customers to immediately stop using the game.
• The product should be kept out of reach of children.
• Customers can return the game to any Aldi store for a full refund.

In light of these concerns, it is crucial for parents to check their children’s toys and ensure safety compliance. The recall underscores the importance of stringent safety standards in children’s products.
