Hazard

The suction cups can be easily detached. If a child puts the projectile in the mouth, the suction cup could detach and obstruct the airways. The kinetic energy of the projectiles, when hitting a person, is too high. This could cause injuries, especially to the eyes.Moreover the toy contains bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) (measured value up to 7.9%), dibutyl phthalate (DBP) (measured value up 12% by weight). These phthalates may harm the health of children, causing possible damage to the reproductive system. The product does not comply with the REACH Regulation, the requirements of the Toy Safety Directive and the relevant European standard EN 71-1.
