Hazard
The product has been identified as presenting a serious risk of choking and internal injuries due to the presence of small parts as received. A young child may put a small part in its mouth and the parents may not notice in time, so the small part can block the child’s airways and cause the child to choke.
The magnetic toy was also found to have a magnetic flux index of 1926.57 KG²mm², greater than the maximum permissible level of 50 KG²mm². Small, high-powered magnetic products can be easily swallowed and, when ingested, have the potential to cause serious internal injuries within the gastrointestinal tract.
The product does not meet the requirements of the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011.
Corrective action
OPSS are requiring the recall of the product from end users. The listing has been removed by the online marketplace (Wish).
