Hazard

The product poses a risk of choking because a child could easily access and remove the fibrous material used to stuff the toy and put it into the mouth. The fibrous stuffing can get caught in the child's larynx and block the respiratory tracts. Moreover, the eyes of the elephant soft toy can be detached and put in the mouth by children, which could also pose a risk of choking. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Toy Safety Directive and the relevant European standard EN 71-1.
