Model no. 59486, Bar code: 5025066594862, Item no. 3854.
Description
Yellow, pink and blue plastic toy gun with four red foam darts with red suction cup ends. Attached to a cardboard blister pack. Packaging marked: WARNING: Do not use any bullets/darts/arrows or any other projectiles except those supplied with this toy. Do not aim at eyes or face. Not suitable for children under 36 months due to small parts. WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD - Small parts. Not for children under 6 years.
Risk
The product poses a risk of choking because the suction cup component of all four projectiles can be detached with a force of less than 90N (i.e. two can be detached at 22N and 29N and the other two can be detached at 20N and 24N) and they fit into the small parts cylinder. As children often put suction cups into their mouths to moisten them, there is a risk that the suction cup detaches in the mouth and this could pose a potential choking or asphyxiation hazard to a child, by blocking the airway. The product does not comply with the Toys Directive and the relevant European standard EN 71.
Measures
  • Voluntary withdrawal from the market by the distributor
