Why it's dangerous
The plastic material of the toy has an excessive concentration of bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) and dibutyl phthalate (DBP) (measured values: 4.1% and 9.3% by weight, respectively). These phthalates may harm the health by causing possible damage to the reproductive system. Additionally, due to the lack of required safety warning, users may aim the arrows at the eyes or face, which can lead to physical injuries.
