Activity tower

What is the danger

There is a risk of entrapment and potential strangulation if a child climbs through a gap in the "roof" area of the playtower and becomes stuck. Additionally, the toy may tip over during use, causing injuries. Moreover, 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.
