A Garfield toy included in children’s meals at Hungry Jack’s has been recalled over safety concerns.

The toy has been recalled as its packaging contains no warning of the button battery inside the toy.

It is identified as item #17446A on its packaging and was available at restaurants from May 20 to May 30.

“Button batteries can cause severe injury or death if swallowed by a child,” the fast food chain said in a social media post.

“Medical attention should be sought immediately if it is suspected the battery has been swallowed or placed inside any part of the body.”

Customers can swap the toy for one without a button battery in-store, or hand it in for disposal.

For more information, customers can contact Hungry Jack’s customer service on 1300 852 326 or via hja.customerservice@hungryjacks.com.au.

If a child does swallow a button battery, it can get stuck in their throat.

It then undergoes a chemical reaction that burns through tissue, resulting in potentially serious injury or death.

Under the mandatory safety and information standards, products must have secure battery compartments to prevent children from gaining access to them.

Manufacturers must undertake compliance testing, supply batteries in child-resistant packaging and place additional warnings and emergency advice on product packaging.

The standards are enforced by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission.
