Hazard

The toy has a small part which can easily detach (left eye). As a result, a small child may put it in the mouth and choke. Moreover, the battery compartment can be easily opened, leaving the button batteries accessible. A child may put them in the mouth and swallow them, which could cause damage to the child’s gastrointestinal tract and/or choking. In addition, the toy may overheat and cause burns. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Toy Safety Directive nor with the European standards EN 62115 and 71-1.
