Blister pack with crossbow, bow and four arrows with suction cups — choking risk

EU Safety GateSerious riskChokingJun 22, 2007

Hazard

This product poses a risk of choking to children because during the tests, a suction cup became detached when a tensile force of less than 60 N was applied. Once the suction cups become detached, they pose a risk of choking to children. This risk becomes more serious given that children usually lick the suction cups to wet them to increase their ability to stick to the surface that will be hit. In addition, this toy does not contain the following warning “WARNING: Do not aim at eyes or face”. This product does not comply with the Toys Directive and the relevant European standard EN 71-1.

  • Withdrawal from the market ordered by the authorities — Other
