Hazard

The eggs fit inside a small parts cylinder. Additional small parts can also be detached under tensile forces of up to 70N, below the minimum required force of 90N, and are capable of fitting inside a small parts cylinder. These parts could be swallowed by a child and present a serious risk of choking. The sphere attached to the pull cord also does not pass the small ball test and can allow the cord to tangle, presenting a risk of strangulation. This product does not meet the requirements of the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011.
