Hazard

Small parts (the wires of the electric mechanism) can be easily detached from the toy. A child may put them in the mouth and choke. Furthermore, there is a chemical risk due to the presence of an excessive amount of the phthalates DEHP (4.9% by weight) and DIBP (0.66% by weight). These phthalates may harm the health of children, causing possible damage to their reproductive system. The product does not comply with REACH nor with the requirements of the Toy Safety Directive and the relevant European standard EN 71-1.
