Children’s fancy-dress costume
The costume has two functional free cords at the level of the neck which are too long. They can become trapped during various activities of a child, leading to strangulation. Moreover, the zip puller of the costume can easily detach, releasing small parts. A small child can put it in the mouth and choke on it. The product does not comply with the requirements of Toy Safety Directive and relevant European standard EN 71-1.
