What to do now

Small parts of Nibbling silicone daisy dummy ND1000 could come loose and choke a young child.

  1. Take it away from young children now.
  2. Look for loose pieces where it was used.
  3. Because the product was found unsafe on an online marketplace, use the platform’s order page to contact the seller.
  4. If you cannot reach the seller, Trading Standards can be told through Citizens Advice.

Why it matters. Children under three put things in their mouths. Anything small enough to fit through a toilet-roll tube is a choking hazard for them.

If someone has been hurt

Look out for

  • coughing, gagging or noisy breathing after playing with it

Get help urgently

  • a child who cannot breathe, cough or cry — call 999 and follow the call handler’s instructions

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

A product safety report usually means the product was bought online and the marketplace has removed the listing. Ask the seller for a refund through the platform where you bought it; many marketplaces have their own buyer protection.

If you paid by credit card and it cost over £100, Section 75 may apply; otherwise your bank may be able to raise a chargeback.

Summary

Product Safety Report for Nibbling silicone daisy dummy ND1000 presenting a high risk of choking.

The risk

The product presents a high risk of choking as the beads on the product broke during tension testing, releasing small parts that were found to fit entirely inside of a small parts cylinder. If these small parts became accessible to a child and they were to put them in their mouth, this could result in them choking.

The product also presents a strangulation hazard to young children as the length of the soother holder was found to be 235 ± 1mm, which exceeds the maximum specified limit of 220mm.

The product does not meet the requirements of the General Product Safety Regulations 2005.

Action taken

The import has been rejected at the border.
