The Magnetic Breakfast Cooking Set, Montessori Sensory Box and Newborn Baby Sensory Box were all sold online on the Etsy platform.
The products purchased by 26 Irish customers pose a choking hazard due to the presence of small parts in these products.
The Competition and Consumer Protection Commission said: “If you have purchased any of these products, please stop using them immediately, dispose of the product immediately and keep out of the reach of children.
“You may wish to contact Etsy to see if you have any remedial action available. This can be done through your user account on the Etsy platform.”
