Projectile toys - Action play sets
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Two action play sets—the Special Response Team set (Model 9008) and the F.B.I. set (Model 9338)—have been recalled because their plastic arrows with suction cups pose a choking hazard. The arrows are shorter than the safe minimum length of 57mm, and because children often wet the suction cups to make them stick better, they may place the arrows in their mouths, potentially blocking their airway. The products do not meet European safety standards required by the Toys Directive and EN 71.
The Special Response Team set includes a pump action gun, pistol, walkie-talkie, sunglasses, holster, 6 plastic arrows, police badge, handcuffs with keys, truncheon, and targets. The F.B.I. set contains a pump action shotgun, pistol, walkie-talkie, sunglasses, holster, 6 red arrows, police badge, handcuffs with keys, an F.B.I. card, and 6 plastic bullets. Both come packaged in blister packs on colored cardboard with age restriction markings. Authorities have ordered a sales ban and withdrawal of these products from the market. The source record does not specify a consumer remedy.
