Hazard

Small parts may easily detach from the toy (nose, eyes and zipper puller). A small child may put them in the mouth and choke on them. The battery compartment’s wire is accessible and too long. It could be put over a child's head, causing a strangulation hazard. Moreover, the plastic of the packaging is too thin: if a child plays with it, it might cover the nose and mouth, causing the child to suffocate. The solder in the battery compartment contains an excessive amount of lead (measured value: 24 % by weight). Lead poses a risk to the environment. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Toy Safety and the RoHS 2 Directives and the relevant European standards EN 71-1 and EN 62115.
