Unknown · Sokisahtel Mermaid

The bikini has drawstrings in the neck and waist areas. These can become trapped during various activities of a child, leading to injuries or strangulation. The product does not comply with the relevant European Standard EN 14682. The mermaid tail also reduces the child’s ability to swim, which poses a risk of drowning.
