Summary

The risk
The product presents a serious risk of choking as a small metal bell was included among various components. The small bell was found to fit entirely inside of a small parts cylinder, therefore if a young child were to swallow it, they may choke. Additionally, parts of the plastic had rough edges and noticeable burrs. Some of the required documentation and markings were not present.
The product does not meet the requirements of the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011.
