What is the danger
The product poses a risk of strangulation due to the presence of drawstrings in the hood and the neck area. The cord is very long (measuring 112 cm) and is not sewn into the costume at any point, which means that, if it was untied or left tied loosely, it could get caught and cause injuries to the child. The cord can also be tied from the bottom up and not the other way around, which could lead to the child being strangled. The product does not comply with the relevant European standard EN 14682.
