Reasons the product is recalled
Due to loose/faulty plastic casings, the magnets may fall out of the blocks, presenting a choking hazard for infants and thereby breaching the mandatory standard for toys for children up to and including 36 months of age, AS/NZS 8124.1:2002 (as amended by the regulation).
The hazards to consumers
If the magnets are liberated during use, this poses a potential choking or ingestion hazard to young children, possibly causing serious injury or even death.
What consumers should do
Customers should immediately stop using the EVA soft blocks and return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.
