Hazard

The plastic suction cups contain di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) (measured value up to 10 % by weight) and dibutyl-phthalate (DBP) (measured value up to 25% by weight). These phthalates may harm the health of children, causing possible damage to the reproductive system. According to the REACH Regulation the phthalates DEHP, DBP and BBP are prohibited in all toys and childcare articles. The suction cups can also easily be detached from the projectiles. If a child puts the projectile in the mouth, the suction cup may detach 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.
