Scooters - including push scooters and e scooters are a fun and popular way for children and adults to get around. However, falls can lead to painful friction burns, even without a collision. Riders should be wearing enclosed shoes, protective gear (including helmets), and long sleeves during every trip.

RECALLED! Little Nation LCD tablet with Little Nation logo used for writing and drawing. The tablet does not comply with the mandatory standards for products containing button/coin batteries. The battery isn’t secured, and children could access the button/coin battery. It is also missing warning information. Stop using the tablet immediately and place it out of reach of children. Take to Recycle Mate or B-Cycle stations and recycle. Take a photograph or video of the tablet going into the disposal container and contact Little Nation by email at [email protected] with the subject line “Tablet Recall”, your order number and your evidence of disposal to receive a full refund. Children are at risk of choking, severe internal burn injuries or death if they swallow or place button/coin batteries inside their bodies. Serious injury can occur in as little as 2 hours and the results can be fatal. If you suspect a child has swallowed or inserted a button or coin battery:
Call Triple Zero (000) if your child is bleeding or having any difficulty breathing.

⚠️ PRODUCT SAFETY WARNING ⚠️

A recall has been issued for LED Fairy Floss products due to the presence of button batteries, which pose an extremely serious risk to young children if swallowed.

Button batteries can cause severe internal burns in as little as two hours if ingested and can be life-threatening. Products containing accessible button batteries should be kept well out of reach of children at all times.

Parents and carers are urged to:
✔️ Check if you have this product at home
✔️ Stop using recalled items immediately
✔️ Keep button batteries and battery-operated products away from children
✔️ Ensure battery compartments are secure and cannot be easily opened by children
✔️ Dispose of loose batteries safely and immediately

We also have important information for families about button battery safety and what to do in an emergency: https://kidsafeqld.com.au/what-you-need-to-know-button-batteries/

Today, we are wrapping up National Road Safety Week at Rochedale Village where our team chatted to Corrine McMillan MP - State Member for Mansfield about the importance of correctly fitted child car restraints in Road Safety.

Thanks to our partnership with Transurban, we've helped hundreds of Queensland families navigate the complexity of safe seating in vehicles.

For some, the experience is a revelation.

"Was well worth going in to check. Car seats change designs over the years, and we all think that they will go forever. They have an expiry date!"

If it's been a while since your child's restraint has been checked, take advantage of Transurban's Free Fit Fridays:

June: 📌 Logan Central
July: 📌 Orion Springfield Central
