What happened

This pull-along toy consists of a plastic duck on wheels with a cord and ring handle, accompanied by a rotating transparent ball containing fish. The product presents two serious safety hazards: the ring handle can be easily detached and fits entirely into a small parts cylinder, creating a choking risk for children, and the cord is dangerously long at 670mm when it should not exceed 220mm, posing a strangulation hazard. The product fails to meet European toy safety standards.

Authorities have ordered the product withdrawn from the market. The source does not specify what action affected consumers should take regarding products already purchased.
