What the authority reported

The product presents a risk of burns as the black wig does not meet the flammability requirements of BS EN 71-2. The hair burnt for 10 to 15 seconds once the flame was removed. This is in excess of the specified maximum of 2 seconds. If the wig was exposed to an ignition source whilst being worn, the hair could catch fire and continue to flame, resulting in the user receiving burns. Some of the required documentation and markings were not present. 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.
