Brand: Togetdream
Amazon Identifiers: X0020HV8J1, FBA15JXM646WU000010
Country of Origin: China
Product Description: A blue and pink 3D printed dinosaur skeleton building kit, with an extra bone that is placed in the mouth
The dinosaur toy poses a 'serious choking risk'
OPSSThe Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS) identified the toy as failing to meet required safety standards.
The toy features a small removable bone designed to be placed in the dinosaur's mouth.
This detachable part poses a "serious choking risk" for children who might put it in their mouths.
Compounding the danger, the toy also lacks the appropriate warning labels required by safety regulations.
Without proper labelling, the toy could easily be given to children under 36 months old.
Officials confirmed that "the import has been rejected at the border."
However, anyone who may have gotten hold of the product should stop using it immediately and ensure it is out of reach of children.
