FOLO-UP Product Safety Report: 2207-0053 Bobo & Coco Travel Around The World Plush Toy in Box
A set of plush, soft-filled characters and accessories including a magnifying glass, a soft-filled moustache containing a magnet and various clothing in a box
Why this product was flagged
Recorded hazard
The product presents a risk of choking and injuries as the soft-filled ‘moustache’ containing a magnet fitted wholly inside the small parts cylinder. The strength of the magnet was tested, and was found to have a magnetic flux index of 57kG²mm (more than the maximum permitted). Small, high powered magnetic products can be easily swallowed and, when ingested, have the potential to cause serious internal injuries within the gastrointestinal tract. The buttons on the jacket detached at forces of 36 ± 0.4 Newtons (N) and 19 ± 0.2N, both of which are less than the specified minimum of 90N. Both the detached components fitted wholly inside the small parts cylinder, and therefore pose a potential choking hazard to a child under 36 months. Phthalates were also detected in the clear plastic material from magnifying glass. The sample exceeded the specified maximum limit of 0.1% by mass of the plasticised material, as the sum of the four phthalates. A young child playing with the toy is exposed to the phthalates which can potentially harm a child’s health either via cancer or non-cancer effects.
