Hazard

Small parts such as the raincoat button can easily detach. A small child may put them in the mouth and choke on them. Moreover, the plastic bag 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.
