A circular silver tin containing grey putty, four plastic eyes and a small magnetic cube.

PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION INFORMATION

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

WHY IS THIS PRODUCT DANGEROUS?

The product has been identified as presenting a high risk of choking and internal injuries as the small magnetic cube and plastic eyes are small parts as received. A young child may put a small part in its mouth and the parents may notice in time, so the small part can block the child’s airways and cause the child to choke. The magnetic cube was also found to have a magnetic flux index of up to 888.14 KG²mm², greater than the maximum permissible level of 50 KG²mm². Small, high-powered magnetic products can be easily swallowed and, when ingested, have the potential to cause serious internal injuries within the gastrointestinal tract. The product does not meet the requirements of the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011.
