Product description
Moulded eggs in various colours with aqueous solution, beads, and a plastic dinosaur / unicorn inside
Hazard
The products present a serious microbiological and choking risk as they can burst easily during normal use, releasing small parts and an aqueous solution. This solution was found to contain an excess of aerobic microbials. If the user inhales or handles the solution, they could come into contact with these microbials. This may cause adverse health effects for certain consumers, such as those who are immunocompromised.
The products do not meet the requirements of the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011.
