Boots recall two types of dummies over fears they may be unsafe for babies

The airflow soothers are intended for babies aged 0 to 6 months and the second is for babies older than six months.

Parents have been urged to immediately return the two dummies after fears were raised they could be unsafe for newborns.

Boots said the recall was a precautionary measure and that no other products were affected.
