Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations prohibit the supply of goods which are designed or constructed primarily as goods for private use, subject to the exceptions mentioned below, and which may by their form and so forth, be mistaken by persons (particularly by children) for dummies and, as a result, be placed in their mouths, sucked or swallowed with the consequence that they may suffer death or personal injury.
The prohibition does not apply to goods which comply with the requirements of BS 5239: 1988 or to toys to which the Toys (Safety) Regulations 1989 (S.I. 1989/1275 amended by S.I. 1993/1547) apply. The prohibition does, however, apply to goods which are not regarded as toys for the purpose of those Regulations, for example, jewellery for children.
Copies of the British Standards referred to in these Regulations may be obtained from the Sales Department, British Standards Institution, Linford Wood, Milton Keynes, MK14 6LE.
