What is the danger
Small parts (nose and suction cup) can easily detach. A small child may put them in the mouth and choke. The product also poses a risk of strangulation due to the presence of a ribbon intended to be tied in the neck area. Moreover the product has an excessive concentration of di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP) (measured value: up to 26.6% by weight). This phthalate may harm the health of children, possibly causing damage to the reproductive system.
