Why it's dangerous
The product has a small part (zip fastener pull tab) that can easily detach. A small child may put it in the mouth and choke. Additionally, the product has long cords in the neck area. These drawstrings can become trapped during various activities of a child, leading to strangulation. Moreover, the plastic bag of the packaging is non-permeable. If a child plays with the packaging, the plastic can cover the mouth and nose, causing the child to suffocate.
