Requirements breached
The product can easily break and generate small parts (the on/off button, the vanes and the cap as well as the inner mechanism of the helix). A small child could put them in the mouth and choke on them. Furthermore, the plastic bag of the packaging is too thin. If a child plays with the packaging, the plastic could cover his/her mouth and nose, causing the child to suffocate. In addition, the toy includes a metal plate at the bottom of the helix with sharp edges, posing a risk of cuts. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Toy Safety Directive and the relevant European standard EN 71-1.
