Hazard

The product poses a risk of choking because the seams can be easily opened. A child could put its finger into this opening, remove the fibrous material used to stuff the toy and put it into the mouth. The fibrous stuffing can get caught in the child's larynx and block the respiratory tracts. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Toy Safety Directive and the relevant European standard EN 71-1.
