Hazard

The product presents a risk of asphyxiation as the product has a drawstring storage bag which has an opening perimeter of approximately 490mm, greater than the maximum permitted of 380mm. The material used was not sufficiently permeable to allow for ventilation. A child can be playing with the bag and place over their heads without their parents noticing, which can lead to suffocation. The product does not meet the requirements of the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011.
