Hazard

This product poses a risk of choking as when tested according to the impact test, the hook of the fishing rod broke releasing an element which fits entirely within the small parts cylinder. The green landing net does not have any opening, divider or scalloped edge pattern and presents a suffocation hazard to young children. Similarly, the openings of the pink landing net are less than 2mm and present a suffocation hazard to young children. The bag in which the toy is supplied is made of flexible plastics and has an area of 227 mm x 208 mm with an average sheet thickness is 0.025 mm, which also presents a suffocation hazard. The product does not meet the requirements of the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011.
