Hazard

The product presents a high risk of choking due to the easy production of small parts. The suction cups at the end of the shooters could be easily detached with minimal force. If a child puts a shooter in their mouth and the suction cup becomes detached, the suction cup may become lodged in the child’s throat. The product does not meet the requirements of the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011.
