Unknown · Gun Eagle in the Desert
The water bullets expand in size by more than 50% when placed in water. If the small bullets are put into the mouth and swallowed by children, they could expand causing fatal occlusion of the respiratory tract or intestinal blockage. Moreover, the foam projectiles can break easily, creating small parts with suction cups. A child playing with the toy may put the projectile in the mouth in order to wet it before shooting. If it breaks, the suction cup could obstruct the airways. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Toy Safety Directive and the relevant European standard EN 71-1.
