Summary
Product Safety Report for Dongguan Xike Silicone Technology Dummy Clip presenting a serious risk of strangulation.
The risk
The dummy clip presents a serious risk of injury as it exceeds the maximum permitted length and does not meet the minimum required thickness for such products. If the cord becomes wrapped around a child’s neck, especially when unsupervised, it could lead to strangulation or choking. The reduced diameter increases the likelihood of the cord breaking, creating additional choking hazards from small parts.
The product does not meet the requirements of the General Product Safety Regulations 2005.
Action taken
The listing has been removed by the online marketplace (Shein).
