What happened

A red, yellow, and black textile rucksack shaped like a ladybird with a model number AT07-061 has been recalled due to two safety hazards. The carrying strap, which measures approximately 125 centimeters in total length, poses a strangulation risk because it does not break apart into small, non-hazardous pieces when pulled with a force of 25 plus or minus 2 Newtons. Additionally, the imitation leather on the ladybird's head contains 9.9 percent by weight of bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), a prohibited chemical substance under toy safety regulations.

The product fails to comply with the Toys Directive and the European standard EN 71. Under REACH Regulation, DEHP is prohibited in all toys. The economic operator has voluntarily stopped sales and initiated a recall from consumers. The source does not specify what affected consumers should do to participate in the recall.
