Hazard

When swallowed, button cells can trigger the generation of sodium hydroxide in the body. Sodium Hydroxide is a highly corrosive substance. Exposure to sodium hydroxide leads to severe burns and tissue damage. Moreover, the button batteries and a piece of foam rubber can be easily detached from the toy. A small child could put either of them in the mouth and choke. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Toy Safety Directive and with the relevant European standard EN 71-1.
