- Hazard
- The product presents a high risk of choking as some letters and numbers are small parts as received, which fit wholly into a small parts cylinder. A young child may place the small parts into their mouth and choke.
- Three out of 10 of the tested components were also found to have a magnetic flux index more than the maximum permitted of 50 kG²mm². Small, high-powered magnetic products can be easily swallowed and, when ingested, have the potential to cause serious internal injuries within the gastrointestinal tract.
- The product does not meet the requirements of the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011.
- Corrective action
- OPSS are requiring the recall of the product from end users. The listing has been removed by the online marketplace (Wish).
