Product description
Lullaby Hoot Interactive Plush Toy, approximately 24 cm high, which plays Hoot’s lullaby song when the left wing is pressed. The plush toy has a battery compartment on the lower rear, which is covered by a Velcro flap.
Reasons the product is recalled
Due to a suspected manufacturing fault, the product has failed to comply with the mandatory standard for toys for children up to and including 36 months of age because the batteries are accessible without the use of a tool, or two independent movements of the battery compartment lid. Specifically the screw that holds the battery compartment cover in place may become loose.
The hazards to consumers
Children may gain access to the AAA batteries, which are small parts, presenting a potential choking hazard.
What consumers should do
Consumers should cease using the plush toy immediately. Customers can return the toy to the place of purchase or to any ABC shop for a full refund.
