Key ring in the form of a stuffed fabric soft toy animal (tiger, dog, mouse, cow or pig)

  • Brand S.T.C.

Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

These fabric animal-shaped key rings (in tiger, dog, mouse, cow, or pig designs) pose a choking hazard because small parts detach when minimal force is applied during testing. Children may place these detached pieces in their mouths and choke. The product does not comply with European toy safety standards and directives. Although the product includes a label stating it is not suitable for children under 36 months, the key ring element alone is not distinctive enough to clearly differentiate it from regular stuffed toys intended for younger children.

The manufacturer has voluntarily withdrawn the product from the market and is destroying inventory. The specific model affected is article reference 2474 with code 3700276214282. The source does not specify what action affected consumers should take with products already purchased.
