A baby chair sold at Kmart is being urgently recalled over fears poor stitching could result in a choking hazard that may "lead to severe injury or death".

The Australian Competitor and Consumer Commission (ACCC) said today that it's possible the chair's mirror could break free due to poor manufacturing, which could see it being swallowed.

"This product doesn't comply with the mandatory standard for toys for children up to and including 36 months of age," The ACCC said.

"The material stitching around the elephant's ear that secures the small plastic mirror may fail and release the mirror.

"There is a risk of choking or suffocation in young children, leading to severe injury or death if they swallow the released small plastic mirror."

The authority warned parents to "immediately" stop using the product, if they own it.

It's understood full refunds will be offered at Kmart.
