What is the danger
The suction cup on top of the soft toy's head detaches easily. A child can put it in the mouth and choke on it. The suction cup also contains an excessive amount of bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) (measured value up to 19.4% by weight). This phthalate may harm the health of children, causing possible damage to their reproductive system. The plastic bag 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.
