The supermarket has warned parents to dispose of Little Angels 2 Newborn Soothers 0+ Month [pictured above] - or to return the product to their store for a full refund.

This comes following a customer’s complaint on Facebook, which revealed that the teat of the dummy had detached from the hard casing.

"These [affected dummies] are sold in twin packs, the shield is clear and the plug on the front has a number of different designs"

Thankfully their baby was not harmed.

In a notice to customers, the supermarket said: "These [affected dummies] are sold in twin packs, the shield is clear and the plug on the front has a number of different designs.

"We have had one customer complaint that the teat has broken away and detached from the hard casing, so we have taken the precaution of taking the product off sale and recalling from customers due to the possible risk of choking.

"The care and safety of our customers is our top priority, which is why we are recalling the product even though there has been only one complaint and we are yet to conduct our investigation."

The statement added: "We are very sorry for any inconvenience caused."

It is the second time the supermarket has been forced to recall dummies; in January 2013, Asda asked parents to return packs of the Little Angels Cherry Soother after a fault was identified.

No other Asda Little Angels dummies are said to have been affected.
