Why it's dangerous
ChokingSuffocation
The toy has small parts (the eyes) that can easily detach. A small child could put them in the mouth and choke. Furthermore, the plastic bag of the packaging is too thin. If a child plays with it, the plastic can cover the mouth and nose, causing the child to suffocate.
The product does not comply with the requirements of the Toy Safety Directive nor with the European standard EN 71-1.
