Soft toy

The soft toy has a small part (suction cup) that may easily detach. A child may put it in the mouth and choke. Moreover, the plastic material of the suction cup contains an excessive concentration of dibutyl phthalate (DBP) (measured value up to 8,9 % by weight). This phthalate may harm the health of children, possibly causing damage to their reproductive systems. The product does not comply with the REACH Regulation, nor with the requirements of the Toy Safety Directive nor with the European standard EN 71-1.
