Hazard

The toy's handle is too long: a child could put the protruding part into the mouth, which could block the airways. The strap attached to the toy does not have a quick release mechanism. If worn around the neck, it could form a loop and become trapped, leading to strangulation. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Toy Safety Directive and the relevant European standard EN 71-1.
