What to do now
Tests have found a harmful substance in Lovely Baby Doll above the legal limit.
- Take it away from children now and stop using it.
- Wash your hands after handling it.
- This is a safety report rather than a manufacturer recall: the listing has been taken down, but the seller may not contact you. Get in touch with the seller through the marketplace.
- Report it to Trading Standards through the Citizens Advice consumer service if the seller does not respond.
Why it matters. Limits on substances such as lead, cadmium, phthalates and formaldehyde exist because of their effects on health over time. Children are more exposed because they chew and handle products.
If someone has been hurt
Look out for
- skin redness, itching or a rash where it touched

This is general information based on NHS public guidance, not medical advice. In an emergency call 999. For urgent advice use NHS 111 (NHS 24 on 111 in Scotland) or, in Northern Ireland, your GP or out-of-hours service.
Getting your money back
Contact the seller through your order history and say that the product is the subject of an OPSS safety report. Keep screenshots of the listing and your order.

Summary
Product Safety Report for Lovely Baby Doll presenting a serious chemical risk.
The risk
The battery compartment of the products is not secured by a screw, allowing easy access to the compartment and button cell batteries. The batteries may be placed in the mouth and swallowed, presenting a choking hazard for young children and causing damage to the gastrointestinal tract due to a chemical burn.
Additionally, the plastic material from the doll’s head contains 0.11 ± 0.01% dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and 3.11 ±0.25% bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP). Phthalates may harm the health of children, possibly causing damage to the reproductive system.
The product does not meet the requirements of the REACH Regulations 2008 or the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011.
Action taken
The import has been rejected and destroyed at the border.
