Asphyxiation and fire
Risk description
The product poses a high risk of asphyxiation as there are no ventilation holes. Any toy having a door, lid or similar device which encloses a continuous volume greater than 0.03 m² and which all internal dimensions are 150 mm or more, should provide at least two unobstructed ventilation holes, each 650 mm² or more, situated at least 150 mm apart. As the product does not have any ventilation holes, a child can be completely enclosed causing an asphyxiation hazard. The plastic sheeting the product is packaged in can also pose a suffocation risk as when measured it was found to have an average thickness 0.027 mm, which is below the 0.038 mm required. The product also poses a risk of fire as the lid and foam padding are highly flammable materials which will readily catch fire after brief contact with a source of ignition. The product does not meet the requirements of the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011.
