Super Heroes Bowman · Crossbow
The product poses a risk of suffocation because the suction cup can be detached by a force less than 90N (20 and 21N respectively). If the suction cup is not properly affixed to the toy, it could be easily detached during normal use. As children often put suction cups in their mouths to moisten them before sticking them on a surface, there is a risk that the suction cup could block the airway causing asphyxiation. The product does not comply with the Toys Directive and the relevant European standard EN 71.
