Bontempi · Maracas - Toy band

The product poses a risk of choking because the handle of the rattle is too long and if put into the child's mouth it may get stuck and obstruct the airways. The handle could also trigger a vomiting reaction causing the child to choke. The product does not comply with the Toys Safety Directive and the relevant European standard EN 71-1.
