DONG QI · Absorbent bomb gun
The spherical projectiles pose a risk of injuries because they can be put into the mouth and may be swallowed by children. As they expand, this could cause fatal occlusion of the respiratory track or intestinal blockage. Also, the suction cup of the projectile easily detaches and could obstruct the airways, if put into the mouth, causing choking. The toy's sound pressure level is too high and could cause damage to hearing. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Toy Safety Directive and the relevant European standard En 71-1.
