What to do now

The risk with Tumama Black & White Vision Plush Set sold on Amazon is choking: a part can detach and fits inside a child’s airway.

  1. Take it away from young children now.
  2. Look for loose pieces where it was used.
  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. 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.

Summary

Product Safety Report for Tumama Black & White Vision Plush Set sold via Amazon presenting a serious choking risk.

The risk

The product presents a serious risk of choking as when tested in accordance with the geometric shape of certain toys, the connecting ring on the book protruded past the base of the template. To a child who cannot sit up unaided, the component poses a potential risk of asphyxiation/impaction through internal airway obstruction. It was also noted that the ring could be unclipped, and in this case, it fitted wholly through a small parts cylinder which presents a choking hazard to a child younger than the age of 36 months.

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

Action taken

The import has been rejected at the border. The listing has been removed by the online marketplace (Amazon).
