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

What happened

Two plastic toy products—an electric sound gun pistol and a flashing stick sword—have been recalled because their battery compartments open too easily, creating a choking hazard if young children swallow the button batteries inside. Both products carry warning labels stating they are not suitable for children under 36 months old, but they do not meet required safety standards under the Toys Directive and European standard EN 71.

The customs authorities have rejected these products from import. The record does not specify what remedy is available to consumers who may have already purchased these items.
