What is the danger

The products pose a risk of choking and injuries because parts of the toy, which fit entirely into the small parts cylinder, can grow in size by more than 50% after being placed in water. If a child swallows parts of this toy, contact with the saliva or gastric juices will cause the toy to grow in size, which may cause asphyxia or gastrointestinal injuries. The product does not comply with the Toys Directive and with the relevant European standard EN 71.
