The European Union has withdrawn nine dangerous products from the Irish market.
They include a laptop, a children's car seat, a handwashing gel, babies slippers and an air hockey table.
China is the main source of origin for the defective products.
A laptop was recalled due to the risk of fire caused by the charger overheating, a teething necklace was recalled due to risk of choking and/or strangulation and a children's car seat adaptor was recalled due to risk of injuries.

While a cardigan was also withdrawn due to risk of injuries, and a hand washing gel because of the risk of skin irritation.
Babies' slippers were also called back because of the risk of choking on small attachments - and an air hockey table was recalled due to the risk of an electric shock.

The European Commission's Rapid Alert System found that toys (28%) and clothing, textiles and fashion items (23%) were the two main product categories which posed threats to consumers.
Among the most frequent risks were risk of injury, chemical risks and choking.
