Hazard

The product presents a serious risk of asphyxiation as it does not have sufficient ventilation to comply with the requirements of BS EN 71-1 and prevent a possible restriction to airflow. The mask has a combined ventilation area of 879 mm², significantly below the minimum requirement of 1300 mm² for fully enclosed masks made from impermeable material.

If the child user were to place the mask over their head, the inadequate ventilation could restrict their airflow and lead to asphyxiation.

Some of the required documentation and labelling was not present.
The product does not meet the requirements of the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011.

Corrective action

The import has been rejected at the border.
