Growing pet (egg and dinosaur)
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
This recall involves two types of expandable toy eggs containing dinosaur figures made in China. The first type is a transparent hard plastic egg containing a gypsum-like egg with a dinosaur figure inside, while the second is a transparent hard plastic egg containing an expandable dinosaur toy directly. Both products bear warnings stating "Expand Double Size Do Not Swallow" and "Warning Choking Hazard-Small parts, Not for children under 3 years old," along with a CE marking and age restrictions.
The products pose a choking hazard because they expand more than 50% in size when exposed to saliva or gastric juices, which could cause asphyxiation or gastrointestinal injuries if swallowed. The products do not comply with the Toys Directive and European standard EN 71. Authorities have ordered the products withdrawn from the market, and the record does not specify what action affected consumers should take.
