Product description
Flashing Plastic / Rubber Spiky Yo Yo Ball - Children's flashing, spiky, squeezable, stretchable, rubber ball toy attached to elasticised rubber cord.
Reasons the product is recalled
These types of products are banned under Consumer Protection Notice 20 of 2011 because the cord provides a yo-yo effect and can stretch to over the safe limit of 500mm in length.
The hazards to consumers
The cord could wind around a child’s neck, especially if swung around the head. The highly elastic and ‘sticky’ nature of the cord can constrict breathing if wound tightly around a child’s neck and cause choking.
What consumers should do
Consumers should contact Mr Bruce Bin Chen on 0405216943 and arrange to return the toys they purchased, for a full refund, or to safely destroy and dispose of the product.
