Wowmax · Soft toy

The zip tag on the bear can be easily detached and the fibrous stuffing material of the toy is easily accessible through the zip. A small child may put the zip tag or the stuffing material in the mouth and choke. In addition, the plastic bag of the packaging is too thin. If a child plays with the packaging, the plastic could cover the mouth and nose, blocking the airways. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Toy Safety Directive and the relevant European standard EN 71-1.
