Hazard

The toy contains small parts (nose, bell, metal element of leash) that can easily detach. A small child may put them in the mouth and choke. Moreover, the puppy has long strings (red ribbon). These can become entangled around the neck during various activities of a child, leading to strangulation. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Toy Safety Directive nor with the European standard EN 71-1
