Hazard

Hence there is a serious danger of external injuries not only for the child playing with the product but also for children, which are in a 3 m distance to the product. Sensitive areas such as the face and above all the eyes are particularly at risk.The product does not comply with the Toys Safety Directive and with the relevant European standard EN 71-1.
