The product releases small parts, which a child could put in its mouth and choke on them. It contains an excessive amount of lead (measured value: 110 mg/kg), which is harmful to human health, accumulates in the body and can cause developmental neurotoxicity. The plastic of the packaging is too thin: if a child plays with the packaging, the plastic can cover the mouth and nose, causing the child to suffocate. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Toy Safety Directive and with the relevant European standards EN 71-3 and EN 71-1. The product does not comply with the REACH Regulation.
