Hazard

The product presents a risk of strangulation because the adjustable neck strap does not have an effective breakaway mechanism. A child may become entangled in the strap, causing it to tighten around the neck and potentially resulting in strangulation. The toy also emits sound levels above the permitted limit for hand-held toys, which may cause hearing damage following prolonged or repeated exposure. Finally, the battery compartment securing screw is not secure and can be fully removed, which could result in children gaining access to the batteries, presenting a choking hazard. The product does not meet the requirements of theToys (Safety) Regulations 2011.

Remedy

The import has been rejected at the border and destroyed.
