Chick C Toy sold via Amazon — burns & choking risk

Hazard

The product presents a high risk of choking as the black plastic eyes can detach or break off during reasonably foreseeable use, creating small parts that fit entirely within a small parts cylinder. These small parts pose a choking risk to young children, particularly those under 36 months of age who have a natural tendency to explore objects by placing them in their mouths. The product also contains easily accessible batteries. If a child accesses the batteries and places them in the mouth, the batteries may cause internal burns and injuries. Improvements are also required to product labelling and markings. The product does not meet the requirements of the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011.

Remedy

The listing has been removed and the product has been recalled from end users by Amazon. Owners should stop using the product and keep it out of the reach of children. Contact the distributor you purchased from to request redress.
