- Hazard
- The product presents a serious risk of choking as the sequins can easily detach from all three gonks, producing a small part. Additionally, the seams on the red gonk were too weak, enabling access to internal fibrous filling material and an internal plastic bag containing small stones/grit. The seam of this internal bag also split when a force of 40 N was applied, giving users access to the stones. Both the sequins and stones were able to fit entirely inside of a small parts cylinder, and therefore presents a choking hazard to young children if they were to put the product in their mouth.
- The product does not meet the requirements of the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011.
- Corrective action
- The import has been rejected and destroyed at the border.
