Hazard

The set contains small parts but lacks the compulsory labelling and warning preventing its use by children under three years of age. A small child might play with the toy, put the small part in the mouth and choke. Additionally, the plastic of the packaging is too thin. If a child plays with the packaging, the plastic can cover the mouth and nose, causing the child to suffocate. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Toy Safety Directive and the relevant European standard EN 71-1.
