What to do now

The risk with Tamama Stroller and Crib Arch Toy is choking: a part can detach and fits inside a child’s airway.

  1. Remove it from the toy box or cot straight away.
  2. Check the floor and play areas for any parts that have already come off.
  3. 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.
  4. Report it to Trading Standards through the Citizens Advice consumer service if the seller does not respond.

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.

Summary

Product Safety Report for Tamama Stroller and Crib Arch Toy presenting a serious risk of choking and asphyxiation.

The risk

The product presents a serious risk of choking and asphyxiation as it has been identified that the orange rings connecting the hanging toys to the arch measured greater than the maximum permitted 30mm. The orange rings, and banana teether both protruded past the base of the template they should fit into and is therefore of a certain shape/size that could press on the back of the throat of a small child who is too young to sit up unaided. This means that either component could become impacted in their airway and potentially cause a blockage. The product was also missing some of the required documentation and markings.

The product does not meet the requirements of the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011.

Action taken

The import has been rejected at the border and destroyed.

Advice to consumers

The import has been rejected at the border.
