What the authority reported
The battery compartment on the products is not adequately secured, allowing easy access to the compartment and button cell batteries. The batteries may be placed in the mouth and swallowed, presenting a choking hazard for young children and causing damage to the gastrointestinal tract. Additionally, the product included electrical components with solder joints, and when tested, the solder was found to contain lead at a concentration that exceeds the 0.1% maximum limit specified, which presents an environmental hazard. The bag used for packaging poses a potential asphyxiation hazard to the intended consumer, and some of the required documentation was not present. The product does not meet the requirements of the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011, or the Restriction of the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment Regulations 2012 (RoHS).
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.
