Description
1. Children's duffle coat in pink with hood, two pockets and plastic toggle buttons. 2. Children's duffle coat in beige colour with hood, two pockets and plastic toggle buttons.
Risk
The product poses a risk of injuries because the toggle buttons could break, if subjected to excessive strain, posing a choking risk to children. The toggles are made of a polyester-based resin rather than a nylon-based resin, the former being more prone to fracture. Corrective measures have been taken to ensure that this does not happen in the future. Several incidents have been reported.
Measures
  • Voluntary withdrawal from the market and recall from consumers by the importer
