Children's fancy dress
The functional non-detachable cords in the neck area can become trapped during various activities of a child, leading to strangulation. In addition, the non-permeable plastic bag of the product is too thin. If a child plays with the bag, 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 standard EN 71-1.
