Why it's dangerous
The toy has small removable parts (all foam sections except the central circle). A small child may put them in the mouth and choke. Moreover, the toy has an excessive concentration of chloromethylisothiazolinone (CMIT) and methylisothiazolinone (MIT) (measured values up to 4.5 mg/kg and 5.2 mg/kg respectively). These chemicals are allergenic and can cause severe skin burns and eye damage.
