Discount retail chain Zeeman has issued a nationwide recall for multiple children’s items due to detachable small parts that pose a potential choking hazard. The safety alert applies to a range of plastic toy emergency vehicles and a specific line of children’s singlets sold in stores across the Netherlands.
Affected Items and Sales Windows
The recalled toy cars include plastic police cars, fire engines, and ambulances. Zeeman warns that internal or structural components on these vehicles can snap or detach, creating small parts that young children could easily swallow. The toy cars were available for purchase in Zeeman branches between 10 October 2025 and 5 November 2026.
The clothing recall affects a children’s vest sold under the product name Romy Active Romance. The safety issue involves the shoulder straps, which can detach on sizes 92 and 98/104. Zeeman sold the affected garments between 31 August and 26 October 2026.
Guidance for Customers and Refunds
Zeeman strongly advises parents and carers to stop using the affected items immediately and keep them out of reach of young children. Customers can return the products to any Zeeman store for a full refund of the purchase price or exchange them for an alternative item without presenting a receipt.
