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 suction cup contains bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) (measured value: up to 7.3%), and 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.
