(Prague, July 16, 2009), the Czech Trade Inspection Authority discovered that dangerous products are being sold on the Czech market. These products pose risks mainly to small children.

It is a swimming set - plastic animals (a frog, a duck, fish and a dolphin), EAN: 8594877004114. These products do not comply with applicable safety requirements.

 

During impact testing of the plastic toy frog, one of its plastic eyes got completely lose. This small piece could be fitted into testing cylinder. The other eye of the frock revealed cracks. After testing the plastic toy fish for press durability, the plastic head of the toy bent inward and the eye of the toy got loose as well, creating a gap where the testing gap-blade could be inserted.  During pull-test with force 7.8 N, the plastic eye got loose completely and the entire eye could be placed inside test cylinder.
