Adar · Music Guitar

The toy guitar is equipped with a strap intended to be worn fully or partially around the neck. The strap can get trapped during various activities of a child and create a loop around the child's neck. The absence of a quick release mechanism enabling the child to detach the strap can lead to strangulation. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Toy Safety Directive and the relevant European standard EN 71-1.
