Hazard

The material of the beard is highly flammable. If a child wears the beard and it catches fire, the child may suffer burns mostly on the face. Furthermore, the plastic 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 standards EN 71-1 and EN 71-2.

Measures taken

  • Withdrawal of the product from the market — Importer (08/03/2017)
