Product description
A foldable storage box which can also be used as a child’s seat (Ottoman). The product measures 60 x 30 x 35cm with MDF constructed sides covered by colourful, printed polypropylene plastic material and a padded, foam filled lid.
Hazard
The product poses a high risk of asphyxiation and burns. The product failed testing, as any toy having a door, lid or similar device which encloses a continuous volume greater than 0.03m² and which all internal dimensions are 150mm or more, shall provide at least 2 ventilation holes, each at least 650mm² or more, situated at least 150mm apart. A child can be completely entrapped within this product, presenting an asphyxiation hazard, as there are no ventilation holes.
Additionally, test flame applications made to the red lid covering resulted in the ignition of the sample/filling material. The behaviour was considered extremely/highly flammable type and a child may receive burns should the product catch fire.
This product does not meet the requirements of the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011.
Corrective action
Recall of the product from end users.
