Kmart has recalled a small animal toy on the basis that it poses a choking risk.

Toy Mania 3D Mini Animal Toys were sold at Kmart from 12 June until 13 August this year.

The Ministry of Business Innovation & Employment said the product contains small parts that may separate from the toy and could become a choking hazard.

"There is a risk of serious injury or death by choking if small parts separate from the toy and a child places them in their mouth," it said.

People should also notify anyone they had sold or given the toy to as a gift, it said.

It advised anyone who was unable to return the product to contact Kmart's customer service line on 0800 945 995.
