FOLO-UP Product Safety Report: 2309-0149 QIFU Plush Christmas Gonks Set

A set of soft-filled fabric characters, each a different colour, with a white beard and wearing a tall, pointed hat.

Recorded risk Serious Source updated 30 April 2025

Why this product was flagged

Recorded hazard

The product presents a serious risk of choking as the sequins can easily detach from all three gonks, producing a small part. Additionally, the seams on the red gonk were too weak, enabling access to internal fibrous filling material and an internal plastic bag containing small stones/grit. The seam of this internal bag also split when a force of 40 N was applied, giving users access to the stones. Both the sequins and stones were able to fit entirely inside of a small parts cylinder, and therefore presents a choking hazard to young children if they were to put the product in their mouth.
