Hazard

The product presents a high risk of strangulation as the ribbons hanging from the roof of the tent all have flowers attached to them and therefore have the potential to tangle. A young child who may be playing with the tent unaccompanied may become entangled. The product does not meet the requirements of the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011.

Remedy

The import has been rejected and destroyed at the border.
