Dangerous plush animals with suction-cup mount

(Prague, April 27, 2009), the Czech Trade Inspectorate discovered that a dangerous consumer product is being sold on the Czech market. This product represents a serious danger, mainly for small children.

These products are plush animals with suction-cup mount (a dog, teddy bear and mouse), Model: LK 0978, EAN : 8594046749785. Products are classified as toys for children under 3 years of age. Products are originally from China.

 

Danger applies to all products. The construction of the mount may cause suffocation, because the key chain ring and elastic suction-cup mount are attached to the toy by thin, metal loops, which may be separated from the toy if pulled slightly outward. The elastic suction-cup may be easily removed from the key chain ring. Based on predictable behaviour of small children, the loose metal loops may also be a potential risk, as sharp loop edges may cause injuries to playing children.

 

 

“The CTI prohibited sale of the above-mention products and the distributor accepted applicable measures and recalled these products from the market,“ said RNDr. Jana Příhodová, the General director of the Czech Trade Inspectorate.
