The market supply of the "Can Sport" brand Jumping Ball and the "Little Chef" brand small toys has been banned, and a recall has been decided. It was stated that both products pose a risk of choking.
REASON FOR UNSAFETY
In the statement regarding the jumping ball, it was noted that "the small piece created by the ball plug on the product poses a risk to children's health (aspiration-choking)."
In the statement regarding the "Little Chef" toy, it was mentioned that "the carrot and corn samples are smaller pieces compared to the original samples, the Velcro on the tomato showed tearing at 19.1 N, and the labels on the box are covered with gelatin, which causes them to come off through the wetting method, thus posing a choking risk for small children as it does not meet the requirements of the TS EN 71-1 standard."
