What is the danger

The migration of chromium VI from the textile labels is too high (measured value up to 0.32 mg/kg). Chromium (VI) is sensitising, can trigger allergic reactions and can cause cancer. Moreover, the fibrous stuffing material of the costume is easily accessible. A small child could put it in the mouth and choke.
