Additionally, the toy may tip over during use, causing injuries.Moreover, the plastic 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 and EN 71-8.
