- Hazard
- The product presents a risk of choking as small parts (the plastic nose) can be easily detached when the product is used. A young child may place the small part in their mouth and the parents/carers may not notice in time, with the small part able to block a child’s airways and cause internal damage. The zip provides access to fibrous filling, which could also be swallowed by a child and present a risk of asphyxiation. The product also requires improvements to labelling and documentation.
- The product does not meet the requirements of the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011.
- Corrective action
- OPSS is requiring the recall of the product from end users. The listing has been removed by the online marketplace (eBay).
