Requirements breached

The gaps between the bars of the safety gate are too large: A crawling child could try to pass his legs or torso between the bars, leaving the head blocked, which could lead to respiratory difficulties or strangulation. The gate does not close automatically and a child might pass through the opening and fall down the stairs. In addition, the safety gate has protruding corners where the garments of a child could get caught, causing strangulation. The product does not comply with the relevant European standard EN 1930.
