Hazard identified
Health Canada's sampling and evaluation program has determined that the Minnie Tambourine does not meet the Canadian safety requirements for toys. The tambourine can release small parts, posing a choking hazard to young children. Additionally, when the small parts detach, sharp points can be exposed posing a laceration hazard. Similar tambourine styles may also pose the same hazard and are also being recalled by the company.
As of December 13th, 2016, the company has not received any reports of consumer incidents or injuries related to the use of these toys in Canada.
