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. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Toy Safety Directive and the relevant European standard EN 71-1.

Measures taken

  • Withdrawal of the product from the market — Importer (11/11/2020)
