Why it's dangerous
The saddle stem has sharp edges which may cause cuts. The handlebar pads may disconnect during ride increasing the risk of losing balance leading to an accident. The toy has small parts (plastic screw caps) that can easily detach. A small child may put them in their mouth and choke. The plastic bag packaging is too thin. If a child places the plastic bag over their head, they could suffocate.
