PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION INFORMATION

Barcode Number: X001SUFIRJ

The product was sold on Fruugo by an independent third party retailer.

WHY IS THIS PRODUCT DANGEROUS?

The product presents a serious risk of injuries as, when tested, the small magnets were found to have a magnetic flux index four times greater than the maximum permissible level for a toy and fit wholly within a small parts cylinder. Small, high-powered magnetic products can easily be swallowed and, when ingested, have the potential to cause serious internal injuries within the gastrointestinal tract. The product also requires improvement to marking, labelling and documentation.
