‘Supporter in a box’

  • Brand Rising Star Products AS

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

What happened

The "Supporter in a box" product by Rising Star Products AS is a soft toy football supporter figure approximately 13 centimeters long that holds a detachable football approximately 2 centimeters in diameter. The toy comes in various team colors and logos and is supplied in a small cardboard box with carrying strings. The product presents a choking hazard to children under 36 months because of the detachable football part. The packaging creates a safety concern by carrying conflicting warnings: the cardboard box states the item is "a gift intended for adults it is not intended for children due to small parts," while a sewn-in label on the toy displays a CE mark and states it is "tested and approved for all ages." A test house determined the item is a soft toy that should be safe for children of all ages, but the product does not comply with the Toys Directive and the European standard EN 71-1.

The manufacturer has voluntarily withdrawn the product from the market. According to the recall record, the source does not specify what affected consumers should do with products already purchased.
