Risk
Chemical, choking and burns.
Details
A battery-operated blue light up unicorn wand.
The battery compartment on the products is not adequately secured, allowing easy access to the compartment and button cell batteries. The batteries may be placed in the mouth and swallowed, presenting a choking hazard for young children and causing damage to the gastrointestinal tract.
Additionally, the product included electrical components with solder joints, and when tested, the solder was found to contain lead at a concentration that exceeds the 0.1% maximum limit specified, which presents an environmental hazard.
The bag used for packaging poses a potential asphyxiation hazard to the intended consumer, and some of the required documentation was not present.
The product does not meet the requirements of the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011, or the Restriction of the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment Regulations 2012 (RoHS).
What to do next
If you believe you have an affected product stop using it immediately and contact the retailer for further advice.
Electrical Safety First strongly recommends that anyone who discovers they have an electrical item that has been recalled should stop using it until it has been checked by the manufacturer.
