Hazard

This is greater than the specified maximum of 2 seconds for toys intended to be worn on the head and have flowing elements less than 50mm. If the product contact with open flames occurred and the product became alight, there is a risk that the use of this product could cause burns to the head and face when worn by young children. The product does not meet the requirements of the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011.
