Hazard

The product presents a serious risk of choking due to poor stitching on the items, which allows a standard ‘finger’ in. The poor seam strength allows access to filling materials which presents a choking hazard to young children playing with the toys. The product does not meet the requirements of the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011.

Remedy

The import has been rejected at the border. The listing has been removed by the online marketplace (Amazon).
