The OPSS shared a warning for a plush toy as it had a "serious" chemical risk.

A statement said: "The product presents a serious chemical risk as the suction cups contain excessive concentrations of phthalates. When tested, it was found to contain 0.2 ± 0.01 per cent DEHP, giving a potential range of 0.19 - 0.21 per cent DEHP.

"The sample therefore exceeds the specified maximum limit of 0.1 per cent by mass of the plasticised material, as the sum of the four phthalates. A young child playing with the product is exposed to the phthalates which can potentially harm a child’s health via cancer or non-cancer effects. The product also does not possess the required markings and labelling."

The brand name and model numbers were not shared so no further product identifiers are available.
