Product description
Novelty stretch ball 18cm in diameter with light inside.
Reasons the product is recalled
These types of products are banned under Consumer Protection Notice 20 of 2011 because the cord (and "hair") provides a yo-yo effect and can stretch to over the safe limit of 500mm in length.
The hazards to consumers
The cord (and "hair") could wind around a child’s neck, especially if swung around the head. The highly elastic and ‘sticky’ nature of the cord (and "hair") can constrict breathing if wound tightly around a child’s neck and cause choking.
What consumers should do
Return product to any Cheap as Chips store for a full refund.
