An unsafe yo-yo ball has been withdrawn from the local market by the Market Surveillance Directorate.

The Directorate said it was found to be dangerous due to its very long cord which can circle around the neck of the child, therefore risking strangulation.

Moreover, it said that this toy lacks the presence of the CE mark and all other necessary information, including brand name, model number, batch number and manufacturer details.

The yo-yo ball is liquid-filled and contains another small ball which flashes as it hits the ground.

Consumers who have bought the above mentioned toy should immediately refrain from using it and return it to the outlet from which it was purchased.
