Hazard
The product presents a risk of choking as small parts (the wooden beak and mouth from the puppets) can be easily produced when the rattle 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 product also requires improvements to labelling and documentation.
The product does not meet the requirements of the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011.
