ST JOHN Ambulance Australia, in consultation with the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), has announced it is recalling all electronic thermometers supplied in the Tiny Tots First Aid Kits - see tga.gov.au.
The TGA said that although these were not designed for use by children, their child-friendly design may encourage children to play with them - of particular concern is the little yellow duck at one end of the device that can easily be removed exposing the button battery.
St John Ambulance will supply a replacement - call 1300 956 625.
