What happened

Plastic squeezable toys called "Palla Puffer" in various fluorescent colors and shapes, approximately 28 cm in diameter, are being recalled due to multiple safety hazards. The toys contain LEDs that light up when squeezed and have a capsule holding the electrical circuit and batteries that children can easily access. Small removable balls and batteries can detach from the toy and be placed in a child's mouth, where they may become lodged in the airway and cause choking. Additionally, the blue LED lights in these toys exceed safe exposure limits and may cause damage to the retina and eyesight.

The recalled toys do not meet European toy safety standards and regulations. The specific affected models include the Palla Puffer 28 cm diameter versions with various reference numbers (0014, 0015, 0017, 0501, 0507, 0508, 0511, 0512, 0513, 0519, 0520, and 0525). The source document does not specify what action affected consumers should take regarding these products.

Hazard

null The capsule containing the electrical circuit and the batteries is easily accessible due to insufficient mechanical resistance. The batteries and small removable balls that can easily be detached from the toy can be put in the mouth by children and may get stuck and block the airways, posing a risk of choking. The products also pose a risk of damage to sight since the toys produce blue LED higher than Class 1, which may damage the retina. The products do not comply with the requirements of the Toy Safety Directive and the relevant European standards EN 71-1 and EN 62115.
