What is the danger

It contains an excessive amount of lead (measured value: 110 mg/kg), which is harmful to human health, accumulates in the body and can cause developmental neurotoxicity. The plastic of the packaging is too thin: if a child plays with the packaging, the plastic can cover the mouth and nose, causing the child to suffocate.
