Hazard
The product presents a high risk of choking as some letters and numbers are small parts as received, which fit wholly into a small parts cylinder. A young child may place the small parts into their mouth and choke.
Three out of 10 of the tested components were also found to have a magnetic flux index more than the maximum permitted 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.
Corrective action
