Summary
Product Safety Report for Boili Magnetic Dartboard Game presenting a serious risk of choking.
The risk
The product presents a serious risk of choking as the metal tips on the darts were found to detach too easily. These detached metal tips fit entirely inside of a small parts cylinder, and should a child put these small metal tips in their mouth, they could swallow it and choke.
Additionally, one of the magnets was found to have a magnetic flux of 662 ± 16 kG²mm². This exceeds the maximum permissible level of 50kG²mm². Should more than one magnet be ingested, they can attract to each other across intestinal walls and cause perforation or blockage, which can cause severe injuries that can be fatal. Some required documentation was not present.
The product does not meet the requirements of the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011.
Action taken
The products have been destroyed.
