Lidl has issued an urgent recall of four types of Paw Patrol snacks due to a website containing explicit content unsuitable for children on the packaging.
The website URL listed on the Paw Patrol mini biscuits and yummy bakes was compromised and now contains the explicit content.
Customers are being urged to return the products to their nearest Lidl for a full refund.
The affected products are the multi pack of All Butter Mini Biscotti Biscuits, the Choc Chip Biscotti Biscuits, the Yummy Bake Bars Apple Flavour and the Yummy Bake Bars Raspberry Flavour.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.Â
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.Â
That is invaluable.Â
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalistâs job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
