What is the danger
The plastic material of the suction cup has an excessive concentration of bis(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP), dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and diisobutyl phthalate (DIBP) (measured values up to 16%, 3% and 0,52 % by weight, respectively). These phthalates may harm the health of children, possibly causing damage to their reproductive systems. In addition the toys have small elements (eyes, nose, bell and suction cup) and fibrous stuffing material that may easily detach or become accessible. A child may put these in the mouth and choke.
