SIR – I cannot be the only grandma who is disappointed when their grandchildren open presents to find they cannot remove their toy but have to wait for an adult to remove (and hide) all the wires, plastic bits and sometimes screws.

It is not green to have toys held in place by unnecessary packaging and it is not child-friendly to put in bits and pieces which can be swallowed.

Can we have a Christmas campaign to eliminate the wires and free-up toys?
