Hazard

Small parts (the ring and the removable fastener) can easily be detached from the toy. A small child may put the small parts in the mouth and choke. Moreover, the plastic of the packaging is too thin and too big: If a child plays with it, the plastic might cover the nose and mouth, causing the child to suffocate. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Toy Safety Directive and the relevant European standard EN 71-1.
