Hazard

The product presents a chemical risk as the plastic material of the toys contains an excessive concentration of phthalates. A young child playing with the ducks may mouth the toy, taking in phthalates from the toy which can affect a child’s reproductive system. The product also presents a choking risk as the duck incorporates a squeaker which is considered a small part, and a young infant may place this in the mouth and choke. The product does not meet the requirements of the REACH Enforcement Regulations 2008 and the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011.
