What is the danger

This toy poses: - a serious risk of suffocation by strangulation because the string can be prolonged up to 105-700 mm depending on the way of its use. So the toy represents a serious risk of strangulation by wrapping around the neck of a child; - a chemical risk because it contains volatile chemical substances, including toluene, a- pinane, and ethyl benzene. These substances are harmful and irritating with a possible effect on the central nervous system. In addition, the marking of the toy is not sufficient as concerns its size and visibility. This toy does not comply with the Toys Directive and the relevant European standard EN 71-1.
