This safety notice relates to Wilko fibre tip pens with item codes 0414902, 0417499, 0316425 and 0414900.

The pen lids should have an air hole in them in case they are accidently swallowed or inhaled, but the air holes in the lids on these particular pens have been found to be fully or partially blocked. They are being recalled as a precautionary measure.

If you’ve bought any of these pens locally at a Shoprite Living store or at Shoprite Douglas store you should return them to the store for a full refund.

If you’ve bought any at a Wilko store elsewhere you should contact the Wilko Customer Care team on 08000 329 329 for advice.

If you have given any of these pens as a gift, please advise the recipient of the recall.

Please note that this recall only applies to the Wilko fibre tip pens described above.
