Hazard

If a child puts the product in their mouth or swallows it, contact with saliva or stomach liquids will cause the product to expand, which can result in occlusion of the respiratory tract or intestinal blockage. Moreover, the product can generate small parts that can easily detach. A small child may put them in the mouth and choke. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Toy Safety Directive.
