Hazard

This product poses a serious risk of internal injuries. Small detachable magnets in toys are not permitted to have a flux index of more than 50 kG2mm². In this case, the metal tips of the darts which held the magnets were threaded and screwed onto the plastic shafts but were easily detachable and would fit into a truncated cylinder for small parts. The magnets were found to be too powerful, with a flux index in excess of 600 kG2mm².

This product does not meet the requirements of the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011.

Corrective action

Destruction of the product at the border.
