Hazard

The product presents a microbiological risk because the liquid filling was found to contain aerobic microbials, yeast and mould exceeding the permissible expected limit. If the toy is damaged or leaks, users may be exposed to the contaminated liquid. This may cause adverse health effects for certain consumers, such as those who are immunocompromised. The product also presents a risk of choking, as small parts can easily detach. 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 does not meet the requirements of the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011.

Remedy

The import has been rejected at the border.
