Small parts (the tabs, the glue fragments from the dress sheets, the springs and the speaker from the sound mechanism, the button, the circuit board) can easily be detached from the toy. A small child may put them into the mouth and choke. Moreover, the speaker from the sound mechanism contains a small magnet with a high magnetic flux. If a child swallows the small magnet and other metallic objects, they could attract one another causing intestinal blockage or perforation.Furthemore, the housing of the sound mechanism can be easily opened and the metallic connections of the batteries generates sharp edges which could cause cuts.In addition, the fibrous stuffing material is easily accessible due to the weakness of certain seams. A small child may put the stuffing material in the mouth and choke on it. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Toy Safety Directive and the relevant European standard EN 71-1.
