Hazard

The suction cups of the projectiles can be easily detached. A child can put them in the mouth and choke. Moreover, the kinetic energy of the projectiles fired from the toy gun is too high and the leading part is not made of resilient material. This can lead to eye injuries. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Toy Safety Directive nor with the European standard EN 71-1.
