Is my product affected?

Pull-along toy boat

  • Brand RONG HUA

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

What happened

This pull-along toy boat (Model n° 5403, RONG HUA brand) is a plastic boat-shaped toy with wheels and a pulling cord, which includes three sand molds shaped like a crab, duck, and fish. The product poses a choking hazard because certain parts can detach and create small pieces that may be inhaled by young children. Although the packaging label warns that the toy is not recommended for children under 3 years of age, the toy is actually designed for children in that age group, creating a contradiction between the warning and the product's intended use. The toy does not meet the safety requirements of the Toys Directive or the European standard EN 71.

The product was rejected by customs authorities and was not permitted to be imported. The record does not specify what remedy or action affected consumers should take.
