Hazard

The migration of lead from the paint is too high (measured value up to 5.5 mg/kg). Lead is harmful to children as it can lead to developmental neurotoxicity. It accumulates in the body and may also affect their future progeny when breast-fed or unborn. The product does not comply with the Toy Safety Directive nor with the REACH Regulation or the European standard EN 71-3.

Measures taken

  • Withdrawal of the product from the market — Manufacturer
  • Recall of the product from end users — Manufacturer (22/05/2025)
