Hazard

The product presents a risk of choking as it has been identified that the zipper on the bear’s pouch can detach, creating a small part. This poses a choking hazard to young children, who have a natural tendency to explore objects by placing them in their mouths. The product does not meet the requirements of the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011.
