Hazard

Small parts can be detached from the toy (the nose and the tips of the 'tentacles'), and the elastic cord can be considerably stretched during use. As a result, children could try to swallow the small parts and choke, or the cord could get wrapped around the child's neck, causing strangulation. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Toy Safety Directive and the relevant European standard EN 71-1.
