Baby’s soother – Nutty Professor teeth

25/07/2009 by

Description

Brand: Billy-Bob
Type/number of model: EAN-Code: 658890501307; 132 100180; 10051808

Description: Baby's pacifier with a shield in the form of lips with four teeth

Country of origin: Taiwan

Danger

Choking
The product poses a risk of choking because it does not include a ring or knob projecting at least 10mm to allow the soother to be gripped if it becomes lodged in a child’s mouth. Moreover, the 6.2mm diameter measuring rod passes easily through the holes of the shield, which means that a child's fingers could become trapped in it.
The product does not comply with the relevant European standard EN 1400.

Actions Taken

Sales ban and withdrawal from the market ordered by the authorities.

Description: The infant car seat has a handle for carrying which is screwed into the left and right-hand side of the car seat. The screws are covered by black plastic caps so cannot be seen from the outside. Colours: yellow, red, black, blue or sand.

Country of origin: Germany

Danger

Injuries
The product poses a risk of injuries because: - the plastic cap which is designed to hide the screws prevents the user from seeing if the screws are missing and, if this is the case, there is the danger that the handle detaches itself and the seat and child may fall; - the car seat may be clicked on to the frame of a pram but in some cases the mechanism does not fit correctly into the pram frame. This may cause the infant car seat to fall off the frame with the result that the child gets hurt.
This product does not comply with the relevant European standard EN 12790.

Actions Taken

Voluntary stop on sales and warning to retailers and customers.
