What to do now

Small parts of Fasin Busy Board sold on Amazon could come loose and choke a young child.

  1. Take it away from young children now.
  2. Look for loose pieces where it was used.
  3. Because the product was found unsafe on an online marketplace, use the platform’s order page to contact the seller.
  4. If you cannot reach the seller, Trading Standards can be told through Citizens Advice.
