An Easter egg product has been removed from shelves at The Warehouse after a “hard substance” was discovered inside one egg bought in Upper Hutt.
Tasha Taylor said she discovered the substance after buying the Nice Easter Bunny Ears with Mini Eggs product from The Warehouse’s Upper Hutt store.
While she said the substance looked like a “rock”, a spokesperson for the retailer said it has not yet confirmed what the object is.
Taylor told 1News that her local store had taken the product back to be sent away and tested.
“They were super apologetic and very lovely when I went in. No complaints about them at all.”
The Warehouse’s buying chapter lead Ryan Murphy said they “really appreciated” Taylor coming to the store and letting them know about the issue right away.
“As a precaution, we have removed the product from our shelves while we investigate the hard substance that has been found,” he said.
“We take the safety and quality of all our products very seriously and follow rigorous processes and audits.”
Customers who purchased the product are able to return it to their local store if they wish to, Murphy added.
