Summary
Product recall for Skycase 2pcs Magnetic Arithmetic Educational Toy presenting a high risk of choking and internal injuries due to the presence of small parts as received, some of which possess an excessively high magnetic flux index.
The risk
The product has been identified as presenting a high risk of choking and internal injuries as the discs are small parts as received. A young child may put a small part in its mouth and the parents may notice in time, so the small part can block the child’s airways and cause the child to choke.
The magnetic toy was also found to have a magnetic flux index of 156.66 KG²mm², greater than the maximum permissible level of 50 KG²mm². Small, high-powered magnetic products can be easily swallowed and, when ingested, have the potential to cause serious internal injuries within the gastrointestinal tract.
The product does not meet the requirements of the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011.
