Product description
Range of gingerbread decorative figures
Hazard
The Sitting Gingerbread with Short Legs model presents risk of choking as testing identified small components that can detach or break off during reasonably foreseeable use, creating parts that fit entirely within a small parts cylinder. These small parts pose a choking hazard to young children, particularly those under 36 months of age who have a natural tendency to explore objects by placing them in their mouths. The product also has gaps in the seams, which may allow access to the fibrous internal stuffing. Blue Diamond are therefore recalling all models of Gingerbread Figures sold in their stores.
The product does not meet the requirements of the General Product Safety Regulations 2005.
Corrective action
The products are being recalled from end users by Blue Diamond. Consumers should stop using the products immediately and return them to the nearest store for a full refund or exchange. For more information, please see the full notice below.
