Hazard

The sound pressure level produced by the toy is too high (measured pick value: 112,6 dB). This could lead to damage to hearing. Furthermore, some parts of the toy protrude. If a child who is too young to sit up unaided puts the toy in the mouth, the protruding parts could obstruct the airways, causing choking. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Toy Safety Directive and with the European standard EN 71-1.
