Hazard

The design of the maracas could easily be confused with a baby’s rattle due to the bright colours and size. The handle of the maracas is too long: children may put it in the mouth where it may get stuck and obstruct the airways. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Toy Safety Directive and the relevant European standard EN 71-1.
