What to do now

The risk with 3 In 1 Wooden Magnetic Fishing Board Games Montessori Toys for Kids is choking: a part can detach and fits inside a child’s airway.

  1. Remove it from the toy box or cot straight away.
  2. Check the floor and play areas for any parts that have already come off.
  3. Follow the corrective action in the notice: a refund, repair or replacement from the business.
  4. If someone has been hurt or the product has failed, report it to Trading Standards through the Citizens Advice consumer service.

Why it matters. Children under three put things in their mouths. Anything small enough to fit through a toilet-roll tube is a choking hazard for them.

  • coughing, gagging or noisy breathing after playing with it

Summary

Product recall for wooden toy presenting a medium risk of choking.

The risk

The product poses a risk of choking as when tested according to the tension test, the magnet of the fishing rod detached at a force of 80N and fits entirely within the small parts cylinder. The magnetic flux index for the magnets is 70.58 kG2mm2, which is greater than the maximum permitted of 50kG2mm2. If two or more magnets were swallowed, there is a risk that the magnets become drawn to each other in the digestive system, which could cause serious injury or death if medical attention is not sought immediately.

The product does not meet the requirements of the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011.
