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 suction cups contain an excessive concentration of bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) and dibutyl phthalate (DBP) (measured value: up to 3.1% and 12.3% by weight, respectively). These phthalates 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, neither with the REACH Regulation nor with the European standard EN 71-1.
