Reason for the recall
- The product presents a serious risk of strangulation as the perimeter of the fixed loop that was created after the knot was tied was measured as being 624 ± 3mm which greater than the specified limit of 380mm for fixed loops. The flexible plastic bag used for packaging has an area greater than 100mm x 100mm and the bag thickness measured as 0.030 ± 0.002mm is less than the minimum 0.038mm specified, which poses a potential asphyxiation hazard.

The flexible plastic bag used for packaging has an area greater than 100mm x 100mm and the bag thickness measured as 0.030 ± 0.002mm is less than the minimum 0.038mm specified, which poses a potential asphyxiation hazard.
