Hazard
The product presents a risk of choking as small parts (the wooden beak and mouth from the puppets) can be easily produced when the rattle 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 requires improvements to labelling and documentation.
The product does not meet the requirements of the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011.
Corrective action
The seller has withdrawn the products from the market. The listing has been removed by the online marketplace (eBay).
