Tesco says these toy cars pose a risk to children.

The supermarket giant has removed the set of Carousel Drive and Talk emergency vehicles from sale and issued a recall.

A Tesco notice said: "We have been made aware that the small directional wheel underneath the vehicle can become detached from the body of the vehicle.

"This small wheel has the potential to become a choking hazard.
