Hazard

The dummy clip presents a serious risk of injury as it exceeds the maximum permitted length and does not meet the minimum required thickness for such products. If the cord becomes wrapped around a child’s neck, especially when unsupervised, it could lead to strangulation or choking. The reduced diameter increases the likelihood of the cord breaking, creating additional choking hazards from small parts. The product does not meet the requirements of the General Product Safety Regulations 2005.

Remedy

The listing has been removed by the online marketplace (Shein). Consumers are advised to stop using the product immediately and keep it out of the reach of young children. Contact the distributor you purchased from to request redress.
