Wild World · Expanding toys - Magic Grow Reptile and Dinosaur Eggs

The products pose a risk of choking due to the fact that after 72 hours in water the toys expand more than 50% in three directions. All animals entirely fit into the small parts cylinder and small components (arms, legs, tails and fins) may be easily detached from the toys. The products do not comply with the Toys Directive and the relevant European standard EN 71.
