Sir, we wish to draw colleagues' attention to Tesco's Steps 0-2 years soft turtle toothbrush (Figs 1,2). The small plastic turtle on the toothbrush handle can easily be dislodged and the loose fragment poses an aspiration risk.

Having received a number of complaints, Tesco has recently withdrawn the toothbrush and organised a public recall. Please could colleagues facilitate the withdrawal process by bringing it to the attention of parents and carers who may have purchased a brush of this type.
