Soft toy
The suction cup on top of the soft toy's head detaches easily. A child can put it in the mouth and choke on it. The suction cup also contains an excessive amount of bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) (measured value up to 19.4% by weight). This phthalate may harm the health of children, causing possible damage to their reproductive system. The plastic bag 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 European standard EN 71-1.
