Product description
A toy with an elasticised cord capable of extending at least 600mm in length with a loop on one end to wear around the finger, and a soft yellow ball with emoticon printed faces.
Reasons the product is recalled
The product has an elastic cord capable of extending at least 600mm in length. These types of products are banned under Consumer Protection Notice 20 of 2011 - Permanent ban on yo-yo water balls and similar products.
The hazards to consumers
The cord can stretch and may wind around a child’s neck, especially if swung around the head, and pose a risk of strangulation. The highly elastic and ‘sticky’ nature of the cord can constrict breathing if wound tightly.
