PAUL · Plush toy – reindeer with a bell

The product poses a risk of choking because the bell on the reindeer can be detached and fits completely into the small parts test cylinder. In addition, the marking of this toy as not intended for children under 36 month is inappropriate because this type of simple toy is treated as a toy for children under 3 years old. The product does not comply with the Toys Directive and with the relevant European standard EN 71.
