Why it's dangerous
Chemical
The toy's battery compartment opens easily without tools, making the batteries inside easily accessible. If a child puts them 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 71-1.
