Hazard
The plush toys present a high risk of choking as the fibrous internal stuffing is easily accessible due to poor construction and stitching of the toy. The seams on the toy were found to have holes and could come apart easily. If the stuffing becomes accessible during use, a child may access the stuffing and place it in the mouth. Some of the required documentation and markings were not present.
The product does not meet the requirements of the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011.
Corrective action
