Hazard
The product has been identified as presenting a risk of entrapment as the product has an elastic adjuster and toggle on the hood. Such adjusters are not permitted on garments intended for young children as a young child may become entrapped by the cord, such as by playground equipment, leading to strangulation, or moving vehicles such as bus doors and bicycles, resulting in dragging or being run over by the vehicle. Additionally, elasticated cords may “snap” back to face or neck resulting in injury.
The product does not meet the requirements of the General Product Safety Regulations 2005 or the relevant standard, BS EN 14682:2014.
Corrective action
The product has been recalled from end users by M&M Direct.
