Hazard
The product presents a serious risk of choking as the metal tag and ‘link’ detached during testing. The detached components fitted wholly inside the small parts cylinder, and a child could put this small part into their mouth and choke. Also, the seam on the back of the toy broke apart during testing giving users access to the fibrous stuffing material. Some of the required documentation and markings were not present.
The product does not meet the requirements of the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011.
