Why it's dangerous
ChemicalChoking
The toy has small parts (buttons, antenna) that can easily detach. A small child may put them in the mouth and choke. Moreover, the battery compartment opens easily without tools and the batteries are easily accessible. If a child puts them in their mouth, the battery may release electrolyte that can be ingested and damage their digestive system.
The product does not comply with the requirements of the Toy Safety Directive or with European standards EN 71-1 and 62115.
