Plastic toys
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
ApaxT plastic toys pose multiple safety hazards to children. The green plastic horse (model T-9605), which stands approximately 40 cm tall and includes a yellow stick with a rattle, presents a choking risk because the rattle can easily break and the saddle sleeves can come off, creating small parts that fit in a child's mouth. Additionally, the plastic handles, saddle, and bridle contain prohibited phthalate chemicals: the handles contain 34% DEHP, the saddle contains 2.8% DEHP and 34% DINP, and the bridle contains 4.8% DEHP and 33% DINP. The yellow and red plastic truck (model T-497) with black tires and accessories poses an injury risk because the gap between the truck's tipping platform and hull measures between 5 and 12 millimeters, allowing a child's fingers to become caught in the hinge.
According to the recall record, customs authorities have rejected the import of these products. The source does not specify what consumers who may already have these products should do.
