Hazard
The product presents a serious choking risk as both the eyes and nose detached under tensile forces of 24N + 0.3N and 67 + 0.7N, which is less than the minimum permissible limit of a force of 90N applied for ten
seconds. Both detached components fitted wholly inside the small parts cylinder and therefore poses a potential choking hazard to a child under 36 months. The sample also poses an asphyxiation hazard as the plastic bag used for packaging has an area greater than 100mm x 100mm and the bag thickness measured as 0.023 ± 0.002mm is less than the minimum 0.038mm specified.
The product does not meet the requirements of the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011.
Corrective action
The product has been destroyed at the border.
