- Hazard
- The product presents a serious asphyxiation risk as testing found that one side of the neck bow unravelled and measured at 450mm, which exceeds the maximum 300mm specified for a child under 18 months, and could therefore pose a potential strangulation hazard to young infants. The flexible plastic bag used for packaging has an area greater than 100mm x 100mm and the bag thickness measured as 0.010 ± 0.002mm is less than the minimum 0.038mm specified, which further presents an asphyxiation hazard. The toy also fails to comply with 5.2(c) of EN 71-1 in that, the zip at the back of the bear can be undone, allowing access to the internal fibrous filling material which presents a choking hazard.
- The product does not meet the requirements of the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011.
- Corrective action
- The import has been rejected at the border. The listing has been removed by the online marketplace (Amazon).
