Hazard

The diameter of the front wheels of the scooter is too small (measured value: 116 mm). When a child rides a scooter on an uneven surface, the wheel can get stuck in a pit and the child may fall, suffering injuries. Moreover, the plastic bag of the packaging is too thin. If a child plays with the packaging, the plastic can cover the mouth and nose, causing the child to suffocate. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Toy Safety Directive nor with the European standard EN 71-1.
