What the authority reported

The product presents a high risk of asphyxiation because it contains water beads, which if swallowed in hydrated form, can block a young child’s airway and lead to aspiration. The water beads may also be swallowed and continue to expand inside the digestive tract, causing a blockage. OPSS has published a Product Safety Alert for water beads, which can be accessed at: https://www.gov.uk/product-safety-alerts-reports-recalls/product-safety-alert-water-beads-psa7 . The product does not meet the requirements of the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011.

What to do

Follow the instructions in the official notice — recall remedies (refund, repair, replacement, or disposal) are defined by the issuing authority and the responsible business, and they differ per recall. Do not rely on summaries, including this one.
