The Office for Product Safety and Standards issued the recall for the Get Set Play Jumbo Balloon Pumper over concerns that the product could shatter.
The red and blue plastic water balloon pumpers are available at shops like B&Q and The Works.
It contains 300 multi-coloured balloons which can be inflated using the pumper.
However, the product design failed to include a mechanism to prevent it becoming over-pressurised.
This means there is a risk the product could build up with pressure and shatter, with the sharp plastic presenting a “medium” risk of injury.
The recall affects products with the batch code 178095 and 178100.
The product is no longer available to buy and has been recalled by The Works.
Shoppers are urged to return the product immediately for a full refund, even without a receipt.
A recall notice from The Works reads: “As a precautionary measure, The Works is recalling the above product due to a quality issue we have identified.”
Customers requiring further assistance can contact their customer service team for more information.
