Hazard

The product presents a serious risk of choking as some of the buckles detach easily and fit into a small parts cylinder. The product also has a long cord in excess of 280mm that goes around the product. This pulls out and represents a choking and strangulation hazard. The cord is permanently fixed to the item and can either be used as a carrying handle or pulls out to be more than 1,000mm. This presents an entrapment or strangulation hazard to young children playing with the toy. The product does not meet the requirements of the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011.
