A Star Wars-themed breakfast set being sold locally contains a high level of cadmium metal and should not be used, health authorities have warned. 

The three-piece Disney branded set features a depiction of Star Wars warrior Kylo Ren and includes a plate, mug and bowl. 

Cadmium is an extremely toxic metal commonly found in industrial workplaces. It is considered a carcinogen and poisoning can occur at extremely low doses.
