According to the ACCC, Ornaments AU has recalled certain batch/lots of Wooden Rattle Baby Toys sold in Personalised Gift Sets from the Australian marketplace due to suspected failure to comply with requirements of Australia’s mandatory standard ‘Consumer Protection Notice No. 14 of 2003 – Consumer Product Safety Standard: Toys for children up to and including 36 months of age.
