Hazard

Due to the placement of the metal bars in the mask, they can enter a child’s eye and cause eye injuries. Moreover, the migration of chromium VI from the toy is too high (measured value up to 1488 mg/kg). Chromium (VI) is sensitising, can trigger allergic reactions and can cause cancer. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Toy Safety Directive nor with the European standard EN 71-3 and EN 71-1.
