Hazard

The suction cups of the projectiles can be easily detached. A child can put them in the mouth and choke. The kinetic energy of the projectiles is too high which could cause injuries, especially to the eyes. In addition, the product contains dibutyl phthalate (DBP) (measured value: up 7.9% by weight). This phthalate may harm the health of children, possibly causing damage to the reproductive system. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Toy Safety Directive, nor with the REACH Regulation or with the European standard EN 71-1.
