The handles of the rattles are too long and too thin. If a small child puts the handle of a rattle in his/her mouth, the handle could obstruct the airways, posing a risk of choking. The shell of the maracas can tear and small parts can be released. The released small parts can be swallowed by small children, causing them to choke. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Toy Safety Directive and the relevant European standard EN 71-1.
