Hazard

Small parts can easily be detached (wheels, wings and parts of the tail) from the toy and it can break, generating small parts. A small child may put them in the mouth and choke on them. Moreover, 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.
