Hazard
The product presents a serious risk of choking as the eyes can detach or break off during use, creating small parts that fit entirely within a small parts cylinder. These small parts pose a choking risk to young children, particularly those under 36 months of age who have a natural tendency to explore objects by placing them in their mouths.
The flexible plastic bag used for packaging has an area greater than 100 mm x 100 mm and a thickness below the minimum specified requirement. A child could place the bag over their mouth and nose, be unable to remove it, and asphyxiate.
The product does not meet the requirements of the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011.
