Expandable toys

What is the danger

The dinosaurs and the balls are small parts.

Requirements breached

Small children may put them in the mouth and choke. Moreover, the dinosaurs and the balls expand 600% in size when in contact with water. If the child puts them in the mouth or swallows them, the contact with saliva or stomach liquids will cause these pieces to expand, which can result in occlusion of the respiratory track or intestinal blockage. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Toy Safety Directive and the relevant European Standard EN 71-1.
