Summary
Product recall for handmade sensory hanging toy for infant and toddlers sold via Etsy presenting a high risk of choking and strangulation due to accessible small parts and excessively long cords.
The risk
The product presents a high risk of choking as during testing many small parts were produced, including blue spiky balls, lolly stick, red conical bead, goggle eyes, metal bells, red and blue arrows, green triangular and
purple vial buttons. A young child may put a small part in its mouth and the parents may not notice in time, so the small part can block the child’s airways. The flower rectangle cords, rectangle and triangle cords also exceed the 220mm maximum permitted length which presents a strangulation hazard to young children.
The product does not meet the requirements of the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011.
