Hazard

The product presents a high risk of choking as the button on satchel and foam inside detached at forces <90N, producing small parts which fit into a small parts cylinder. A young child may put a small part in its mouth and the parents may not notice in time, so the small part can block the child’s airways. The product also presents a risk of strangulation as the satchel around the frog can be completely removed, creating a fixed loop of more than the 380mm limit. The product does not meet the requirements of the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011.

Remedy

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