These toys showed no valid Certificate of Product Notification as of June 5, and since these had not gone through FDA's notification process, "the agency cannot assure their quality and safety."
It warned of potential hazards that may come from the ingredients used to create the toys as these may pose health risks or injuries to its users, the FDA said.
Want to report any "unauthorized" lato-lato toys? You may do so by sending a report at ereport@fda.gov.ph, or call its Center for Cosmetics and Household/Urban Hazardous Substances Regulation and Research at 02-8857-1900 local 8113 or 8107.
