Hazard

The product presents a high risk of choking due to the easy detachment of small parts (plastic fasteners and snap buttons) at low forces, which can be accessed by children and swallowed. The product also presents a risk of strangulation as the strap of the product is excessively long, which can create a fixed loop without a breakaway feature. The plastic packaging also has an average sheet thickness below the permissible minimum, presenting an asphyxiation hazard. The product does not meet the requirements of the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011.

Remedy

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