Toy gun with darts - Model gun
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
A yellow, pink, and blue plastic toy gun sold with four red foam darts with red suction cup ends poses a choking hazard because the suction cups can detach with minimal force—some detaching at forces as low as 20N to 29N—and fit into a small parts cylinder. Children commonly moisten suction cups in their mouths, creating a risk that a suction cup could detach inside a child's mouth and block the airway, potentially causing choking or asphyxiation. The product fails to meet European toy safety standards.
The distributor has voluntarily withdrawn the product from the market. The recall affects model number 59486 with bar code 5025066594862 and item number 3854. The source does not specify what consumers who already own this product should do.

The product poses a risk of choking because the suction cup component of all four projectiles can be detached with a force of less than 90N (i.e. two can be detached at 22N and 29N and the other two can be detached at 20N and 24N) and they fit into the small parts cylinder. As children often put suction cups into their mouths to moisten them, there is a risk that the suction cup detaches in the mouth and this could pose a potential choking or asphyxiation hazard to a child, by blocking the airway. The product does not comply with the Toys Directive and the relevant European standard EN 71.
