Popular summer children's toy sold on Amazon is urgently recalled over ‘serious risk of injuries'
A POPULAR children's toy has been urgently recalled after it was found to have a "serious risk of injuries". Parents have been warned not to let their kids use the item. 2 2 The Soppycid Reusable Water Balloons have been removed from the online marketplace following the safety concern. The toy was available in a pack of six on Amazon for £18. "The product presents a serious risk of injuries because it contains accessible magnets with a magnetic flux index that exceeds the acceptable level," the product's risk description reads. "Small, high-powered magnetic products can easily be swallowed and, when ingested, have the potential to cause serious internal injuries within the gastrointestinal tract. "The product also requires improvement to marking, labelling and documentation." It comes after a children's or even drowning. The Joycat Baby Float, sold on Amazon, has been flagged as a safety risk. Authorities found that its attachable canopy could lift the float from the water in windy conditions, putting children in danger. The alert was issued in the UK following a border inspection. The blue and yellow sea-themed swim seat, intended for babies and toddlers, poses a 'serious risk of injuries', according to the Product Safety Report. 'Contaminated' fish sold at Aldi across 3 states recalled as 'life threatening' ingredient found – check date on label If the float becomes airborne, a child could be thrown out and suffer an impact injury or drown. The alert was issued in the UK following a border inspection. The Office for Product Safety and Standards also issued a recall for the Get Set Play Jumbo Balloon Pumper over concerns that the product could shatter. The red and blue plastic water balloon pumpers are available at shops like B&Q and The Works. It contains 300 multi-coloured balloons which can be inflated using the pumper. However, the product design failed to include a mechanism to prevent it becoming over-pressurised. Smyths have also pulled a magic tricks box from the shelves after a chocking hazard saw it fail to meet safety requirements.

Popular toy set urgently recalled over ‘serious risk of young children suffocating' as parents warned ‘do not use'
A POPULAR children's toy has been urgently recalled after it was found to have a "serious risk of suffocating". Parents have been warned not to let their kids use the toy. 2 The Nail Art Studio kit, by the brand Girls Creator, was made in China. It is a nail art set that includes nail varnish, a battery-operated nail dryer and a range of nail accessories. But a warning has been issued after a product safety report found a risk of suffocation for children. This is because the plastic bag that comes with it "does not meet the minimum thickness requirement". The report said: "If left unattended, a young child could place the bag over their mouth or head and suffocate. "The packaging of the product also does not meet the requirements for labelling and consumer safety information, which may result in inadequate information being available to consumers." It comes after a children's swimming float was also urgently recalled over fears it could cause serious injury or even drowning. The Joycat Baby Float, sold on Amazon, has been flagged as a safety risk. Authorities found that its attachable canopy could lift the float from the water in windy conditions, putting children in danger. The alert was issued in the UK following a border inspection. The blue and yellow sea-themed swim seat, intended for babies and toddlers, poses a 'serious risk of injuries', according to the Product Safety Report.

Popular kids' toy urgently recalled over fears it could cause ‘serious injury' and drowning
A POPULAR children's swimming float has been urgently recalled over fears it could cause serious injury or even drowning. The Joycat Baby Float, sold on Amazon, has been flagged as a safety risk after authorities found that its attachable canopy could lift the float from the water in windy conditions, putting children in danger. 3 The alert was issued in the UK following a border inspection. The blue and yellow sea-themed swim seat, intended for babies and toddlers, poses a 'serious risk of injuries', according to the Product Safety Report. If the float becomes airborne, a child could be thrown out and suffer an impact injury or drown. The report also raised concerns that the float's colours do not provide enough contrast with the water, making it harder to spot in an emergency. Furthermore, it noted that improvements are needed to the markings and safety warnings on the product. The model in question – Joycat SO-BF-01 – was being sold in blue and white cardboard packaging and was manufactured in China. It carries the barcode X0028UXW8F and Amazon identifier FBA15K2DBDVWU000009. As a result of the safety concerns, the product has been blocked from entering the country. The import was officially rejected at the UK border. Parents who may have already purchased the float are urged to stop using it immediately and report it to Amazon or trading standards. The float fails to meet the standards set out in the General Product Safety Regulations 2005. This latest recall follows a series of warnings issued over the past few weeks involving children's items and household products. In Devon, a first-time mum suffered severe burns when a MAM baby bottle exploded while she was preparing her seven-month-old baby's formula. The incident occurred on May 1st, and the mother required medical treatment for painful blisters. A popular baby stroller – the At Performance Z1 – was recalled over choking hazards, while Marks & Spencer pulled its Poppy Print Rompers for babies due to safety complaints. The Sun has approached Amazon and Joycat for comment.
