A STORE giant is recalling thousands of kettles and children's rattles after fears were raised over their safety.
Marks & Spencer is asking customers to return more than 3700 glass and stainless steel kettles after three people were scalded when the handle fell off.
It is also asking customers to bring back 26,000 light-up rattles after customers complained the battery compartment had become detached and could cause a young child to choke.
No-one is thought to have been injured by the toy.
A company spokeswoman said nine customers had complained about the kettles after the handle became detached.
The problem only becomes apparent over a period of use, she said.
China-made, the Pifco kettles, which cost £39.50, were on sale in about 130 stories from July 2005 to July last year. The rattles cost £5.
