The product was available for sale between 17 June 2023 and 27 March 2024 and does not comply with the mandatory standard for toys for children up to and including 36 months of age.

The product is a silicone koala sensory and teething toy, which is grey with black eyes and nose and a light grey colour on the ears. The eyes and nose may detach from the toy creating small parts.

There is a risk of choking, suffocation, or death to young children if the small parts detach or come loose.
