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 Kawaii or the shop you bought it from to arrange the remedy set out in the notice.

Summary

Product recall for Kawaii big eyes frog plush toy presenting a high risk of choking and strangulation due to easy access to small parts and the presence of cords in excess of the maximum permissible limit.

The risk

The product presents a high risk of choking as the button on satchel and foam inside detached at forces <90N, producing small parts which fit into a small parts cylinder. 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 product also presents a risk of strangulation as the satchel around the frog can be completely removed, creating a fixed loop of more than the 380mm limit.

The product does not meet the requirements of the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011.

OPSS is requiring the recall of the product from end users. The listing has been removed by the online marketplace (AliExpress).
