Hazard
The product presents a risk of choking as small parts (the plastic beads from the cheeks) 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.
The product also presents a strangulation hazard as the bag can be removed from the rabbit, and has fixed loops of 525mm, greater than the maximum permissible of 380mm. 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 (AliExpress).
