What are the hazards?
Incorrect labelling may result in the misuse of the product. If the paper clip is attached to the zipper and children are able to use the child resistant fastener, polystyrene beans may pose a choking or suffocation hazard for infants and young children.
What should consumers do?
Choosy will contact customers and ask them to check whether their bean bag cover’s warning label conforms to the requirements of the mandatory standard. If the label is not correct, a new warning label will be supplied to be placed over the old label. The customer will also be advised to remove the paper clip if they attached it to the zipper.
Choosy will provide instructions on how to affix the new label and remove the paper clip.
If customers are unable to affix the label themselves, they can organise to return the bean bag cover to the supplier to have the correct label affixed and returned to them.
