Hazard

The product presents a serious risk of choking because the nose can easily detach, forming a small part. The nose therefore poses a choking hazard to young children, particularly those under 36 months of age who have a natural tendency to explore objects by placing them in their mouths. The product does not meet the requirements of the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011.
