Hazard

The product presents a risk of choking as small parts (the bells on the rattle) can be easily detached when the product is used. A young child may place the small part in their mouth and the parents/carers may not notice in time, with the small part able to block a child’s airways.

The black and white ribbon on the wooden ring was also measured at 500mm, greater than the maximum permissible of 300mm, thereby presenting a strangulation hazard. The product also requires improvements to labelling and documentation.

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

Corrective action

The product has been recalled from end users. The listing has been removed by the online marketplace (Etsy).
