What the authority reported
The product presents a serious chemical risk as the green paint used was found to contain organic tin at a level of 18 ±3.3mg/Kg. This exceeds the maximum limit of 12mg/kg for organic tin in paint on toys and poses a potential toxicity hazard to a child. Additionally, although designed/intended as a decorative article it has been deemed that the product is potentially child appealing. During testing, the robots’ arms, feet and legs all detached creating small parts that are able to fit into a small parts cylinder. If a child were to place on of these parts in their mouth, they may choke. The screws and nails used to attach these parts remained attached, exposing sharp points which may result in a skin puncture injury. Some required information was not present. The product does not meet the requirements of the General Product Safety Regulations 2005.
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.
