Hazard

The product has been identified as presenting a high risk of choking as the coloured plastic worms with metal studs are small parts as received. A young child may put a small part in its mouth and the parents may notice in time, so the small part can block the child’s airways and cause the child to choke. The product does not meet the requirements of the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011.

OPSS are requiring the recall of the product from end users. The listing has been removed by the online marketplace (Wish).
