What happened

A toy rucksack shaped like a soft animal, sold under model EAN 4015679038588, poses a strangulation risk.

These straps exceed 380 millimeters in length and do not break into small, harmless pieces when pulled with the required test force. The product fails to meet European toy safety standards and regulations.

The distributor has voluntarily stopped selling the product and is recalling it from consumers. The source document does not specify what actions affected consumers should take regarding units they may already own.
