Kmart's Anko kids watch recalled over choking hazard

The square shaped Anko brand smart watch comes in multiple colours with a rubber wristband and black glass face.

Unsecured batteries are a unsafe for young kids. If swallowed, they can be a choking hazard or cause internal burn injuries or death.
