Hazard

If a child accesses and removes the battery, there is a risk that, if the battery is damaged or has deteriorated with age, it may leak hazardous electrolytes. Ingestion or contact with these chemicals can result in poisoning or serious injury. The product does not meet the requirements of the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011.
