Hazard

Small parts can detach from the toy and the strap of the toy guitar is too long and does not have a quick release mechanism. Moreover, the sound pressure level is too high. A small child may put the small parts in the mouth and choke. If the strap is worn around the neck, it could form a loop and become trapped. The absence of a quick release mechanism, enabling the child to detach the strap, can lead to strangulation. The excessive sound pressure level could cause damage to hearing.The product does not comply with the requirements of the Toy Safety Directive and the relevant European standard EN 71-1.
