The product therefore does not meet the requirements of the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011.

The barcode and item number are 0816344015286 and 198567, respectively.
Affected batches include 2401-6009ML-BK, 2406-6009ML-BK, 2407-6009ML-BK, and 2408-6009ML-BK.
More information about the recall can be found on the Smyths website under their Product Information section.
Shoppers who have the toy are advised to stop using it immediately and away from children.
