Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

Immediate 18‑month ban in Australia on selling mouth‑inflatable products that contain small beads or pellets, because inflating by mouth can draw beads into the airway and cause choking, asphyxiation, or lung injury. It affects manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers and consumers and keeps these dangerous items off the market while permanent safety standards are developed.
