What to do now

  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. Contact the business or the shop you bought it from to arrange the remedy set out in the notice.
  4. If someone has been hurt or the product has failed, report it to Trading Standards through the Citizens Advice consumer service.
