What happened

Wooden engine toys sold under the "Built for Speed" brand from Woody Town have been recalled due to a choking hazard. The engines are small wooden toys made of wooden parts fitted together with magnets that allow them to connect to each other. A component part of the engine can be easily detached and swallowed, posing a risk particularly to young children. The product does not meet safety requirements under the Toy Directive and the European standard EN 71.

The customs authorities rejected the importation of these products as the enforcement measure. The toys were sold in transparent plastic bags with cardboard packaging that included warnings in English and Chinese. The recall was initiated by Germany.
