Summary
Product Safety Report for MiniDream Organic 5-in-1 Baby Activity Gym presenting a serious entrapment risk.
The risk
The product presents a serious risk of entrapment, as the detachable toys included fabric loops sewn into the side of one of the seams. The loops were large enough that a young child could easily insert their finger into them and twist, causing injuries.The product also presents a high risk of asphyxiation as the fabric on the star toy split at a lower than permissible force, allowing access to internal fibrous filling. A young child may place this filling in their mouth, causing them to choke and/or asphyxiate.
The product does not meet the requirements of the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011.
Action taken
The listing has been removed by the online marketplace (Amazon).
Advice to consumers
Owners should stop using the products immediately. Contact the distributor you purchased from to request redress.
