Product description
The product is a four-pack of reusable water balloons in blue, green, red and yellow, which contains 16 small, high-powered magnets which are easily accessible.
Hazard
The product presents a serious risk of injuries as, when tested, the small magnets were found to have a magnetic flux index four times greater than the maximum permissible level for a toy and fit wholly within a small parts cylinder. Small, high-powered magnetic products can easily be swallowed and, when ingested, have the potential to cause serious internal injuries within the gastrointestinal tract. The product also requires improvement to marking, labelling and documentation.
The product does not meet the requirements of the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011.
Corrective action
The authority is requiring the recall of the product from end users.
The listing has been removed by the online marketplace (Amazon).
