Hazard

A screw from a plastic part enabling the playpen to be assembled and folded can come loose. As a result, the assembly system and locking mechanism (latch) can be damaged. A small child may put the screw in the mouth and choke. There is also a risk of shearing of children’s fingers because the latch is mobile and a risk of entrapment of the child's fingers due to a small, white, plastic part with a hole in it, located under the latch, which may become accessible to children. The product does not comply with the relevant European standard EN 12227.
