Summary
Product Safety Report for Baby Lovely Doll presenting a high risk of choking.
The risk
The product presents a high risk of choking as when tested in accordance with tension test, the dummy broke apart into three components (‘teat’, ring and ‘ring cap’) at a force of <5 Newtons, which is less than the specified minimum of 90 N. The detached ‘ring cap’ fitted wholly inside the small parts cylinder and therefore poses a potential choking hazard to a child under 36 months.
As received, there were several small plastic tags holding the spare clothes together, keeping the bag closed and keeping the hat attached to the head. A screening test using a 70N load was carried out on the tag holding the bag handles together. The tag detached under the applied force ≤70N, i.e., less than the specified minimum of 90N. The detached tag components could pose a potential choking hazard. Additionally, the top of the padded bag was held together with a single plastic tag such that the fibrous padding material inside of the bag was readily accessible, further presenting a choking risk to young children.
The product does not meet the requirements of the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011.
