The rattles can easily break, resulting in small parts, and their handles are too long. A small child may put them in the mouth and choke. The drum can break easily, creating sharp edges which may cause cuts. Moreover, the warning on the safe use of a percussion toy is missing. If the toy is used improperly it may cause damage to hearing. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Toy Safety Directive and the European standard EN 71-1.
