Hazard

The product presents a serious risk of choking as the metal tag and ‘link’ detached during testing. The detached components fitted wholly inside the small parts cylinder, and a child could put this small part into their mouth and choke. Also, the seam on the back of the toy broke apart during testing giving users access to the fibrous stuffing material. Some of the required documentation and markings were not present. The product does not meet the requirements of the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011.

Remedy

One imported batch was rejected at the border and destroyed. Another batch that was sold at performances of “The Wizard of Oz” has been recalled from end users. For further information, please access the Toto Plush recall site here: https://totoplushrecall.co.uk/
