Requirements breached

The loops can easily be untied, releasing the red balls which are placed between the turtles. Small children could put these small parts in the mouth and choke on them. In addition, the cord is too long, which may cause strangulation if it wraps around the child's neck. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Toy Safety Directive and the relevant European standard EN 71-1.
