Why it's dangerous
Chemical
The screw that secures the battery compartment is not captive. If the screw is lost when the batteries are being changed, the cover of the battery compartment could be removed easily. If a child puts the batteries in the mouth, the batteries can overheat and release electrolyte which can be ingested by the child and cause damage to the gastrointestinal tract.
The product does not comply with the requirements of the Toy Safety Directive nor with the European standard EN 62115.
