EU Safety GateSerious riskChemicalChokingDec 5, 2008

Hazard

The product poses: - a risk of choking, because a piece of the toy, which fits into the small parts cylinder, can be easily detached; - a chemical risk because, as this is a device intended to be placed in the mouth and activated by the teeth, it is feasible that it might lose its water tightness, thus exposing the internal circuit and the button batteries to liquids (saliva) which could cause a short circuit and leakage of chemicals. In addition, the markings and safety instructions required by the standard are missing. The product does not comply with the Toys Directive and the relevant European standards EN 71 and EN 62115.

  • Withdrawal from the market ordered by the authorities — Other
