Hazard

The masks have small parts (metallic bars) that can easily detach. A small child may put them in the mouth and choke. Moreover, the migration of chromium from the masks is too high (measured value up to 3960 mg/kg). Chromium is sensitising, can trigger allergic reactions and can cause cancer. Additionally, the metal bars in the mask can cause eye injuries to the child. 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.

Measures taken

  • Recall of the product from end users — Manufacturer (24/03/2025)
