A popular children's toy is being pulled from the shelves due to fears it could cause life-changing injuries.

A brand of Unicorn Magic Poo, made by Tobar, has been found to contain dangerous levels of a potentially hazardous chemical.

Officials have warned it could damage the reproductive systems of children should they accidentally ingest it.

A "serious alert" notice issued by the European Commission says: "The migration of boron from the slime/putty is too high.

"Ingestion or contact with an excessive quantity of boron may harm the health of children by damaging their reproductive system.

"The product does not comply with the requirements of the Toy Safety Directive and the relevant European standard."

The product, which is from China, was only sold online.
