- Item or listing codeOn the box, the label, or the order page where you bought it.
- B07HHX57N9
What to do now
The risk with Wrist Rattles is choking: a part can detach and fits inside a child’s airway.
- Remove it from the toy box or cot straight away.
- Check the floor and play areas for any parts that have already come off.
- 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.
- 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.
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
Contact the seller through your order history and say that the product is the subject of an OPSS safety report. Keep screenshots of the listing and your order.
If the seller does not respond, the marketplace’s own dispute process or your card provider is the next step.
From the official notice
Published by the Office for Product Safety and Standards (2109-0416). Quoted as issued.
Summary
Product Safety Report for Wrist Rattles presenting a serious risk of choking.
The risk
The product has been assessed as presenting a serious risk of choking as the seams of the wrist rattles broke at forces of under 60N. If the seams break, this produces small parts which fit into a small parts cylinder. If a baby or small child pulls on the seams, they may break, and a child may place the small part into their mouth and choke. The product also presents a risk of suffocation as the packaging in which the products were supplied was less than the minimum required thickness and there was also access to internal fibrous filling.
The product does not meet the requirements of the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011.
Action taken
Destruction of product at the border
Advice to consumers
