The affected product is a transparent and blue plastic caterpillar toy with light and sound that moves on four wheels (product name: Jouet rampant / Gear caterpillar; type/model 6608-19B; barcodes BCD25051600105954, S24012700139500101; batch 20241208), packaged in a cardboard box and made in the People’s Republic of China. It was withdrawn from the market because the battery compartment can be opened without tools so batteries are accessible and could overheat and release electrolyte if ingested (risking gastrointestinal damage), and because the LED light is too powerful and direct viewing could damage sight; it does not comply with the Toy Safety Directive or EN 62115.
