Summary
Product Safety Report for Four-Post Fishing Toy sold via Amazon presenting a serious risk of choking and suffocation.
The risk
The product presents a serious risk of choking as the wooden fish constitute a small part. The magnets were also easily detachable and are a small part. A child playing with the toy unattended may place the small parts in their mouth, posing a choking hazard to young children.
The flexible plastic bag used for packaging has a thickness less than the minimum requirement, and therefore presents a potential asphyxiation or suffocation hazard.
The product does not meet the requirements of the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011.
Action taken
The import has been rejected at the border and destroyed.
Advice to consumers
The import has been rejected at the border and destroyed.
