Product description
Small soft-filled, 'crocheted' cat figure with plastic eyes, holding a plastic card. Card reads "Pawsitive Cat - I may be a tiny cat, but I believe in you. Go do your thing!" and " You're Pawsome!".
Hazard
The product presents a serious risk of asphyxiation because the flexible plastic bag has an area greater than 100mm x 100mm and the thickness is 0.030 ± 0.002mm. This is less than the minimum 0.038mm specified. If a child placed the bag over their head, they could asphyxiate.
The product also presents a choking risk because the cat eyes detached with minimal force, creating small parts which fit entirely within a small parts cylinder. If a child puts these small parts in their mouth, they could choke. Improvements are also required to product labelling and markings.
The product does not meet the requirements of the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011.
Corrective action
The import has been rejected at the border and destroyed.
