Hazard

Small stickers may detach from the toy telephone. A small child may put them in the mouth and choke. The cord connecting the toy phone with the earpiece is too long, and this may cause strangulation if it wraps around a child's neck. 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 and the relevant European standard EN 71-1.
