Hazard
The product presents a serious asphyxiation risk as testing found that one side of the neck bow unravelled and measured at 450mm, which exceeds the maximum 300mm specified for a child under 18 months, and could therefore pose a potential strangulation hazard to young infants. The flexible plastic bag used for packaging has an area greater than 100mm x 100mm and the bag thickness measured as 0.010 ± 0.002mm is less than the minimum 0.038mm specified, which further presents an asphyxiation hazard. The toy also fails to comply with 5.2(c) of EN 71-1 in that, the zip at the back of the bear can be undone, allowing access to the internal fibrous filling material which presents a choking hazard.
The product does not meet the requirements of the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011.
Corrective action
The import has been rejected at the border. The listing has been removed by the online marketplace (Amazon).
