What the authority reported
The product presents a serious risk of asphyxiation because the flexible plastic bag has an area greater than 100mm x 100mm and the thickness is 0.030 ± 0.002mm. This is less than the minimum 0.038mm specified. If a child placed the bag over their head, they could asphyxiate. The product also presents a choking risk because the cat eyes detached with minimal force, creating small parts which fit entirely within a small parts cylinder. If a child puts these small parts in their mouth, they could choke. Improvements are also required to product labelling and markings. 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.
