What happened

Three remote-controlled plastic toy vehicles have been recalled due to a chemical hazard: a green amphibious panzer with black crawler track (Model 95000, 757T-2042), a red Formula 1 racing car with black tires (Model 95001, 757-2048), and a red sports car with black tires (Model 95002, 757-5034). The black materials in the crawler tracks and tires contain di-(2-ethylhexyl)-phthalate (DEHP) at levels of 24-27% by weight, which violates the Chemical Restrictions Directive 79/769/EC that bans this substance in toys.

The products were sold in cardboard boxes with transparent windows and came in batches of 288, 1,800, and 160 units respectively. A sales ban has been ordered by authorities. The recall was notified by Finland. The source document does not specify what action affected consumers should take.
