What the authority reported
The product presents a serious chemical risk as the suction cups contain excessive concentrations of phthalates. When tested, it was found to contain 0.2 ± 0.01% DEHP, giving a potential range of 0.19 - 0.21% DEHP. The sample therefore exceeds the specified maximum limit of 0.1% by mass of the plasticised material, as the sum of the four phthalates. A young child playing with the product is exposed to the phthalates which can potentially harm a child’s health via cancer or non-cancer effects. The product also does not possess the required markings and labelling. The product does not meet the requirements of the REACH Regulations 2008 or 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.
