Hazard
The toy contains small magnets with a high magnetic flux (measured value up to 0.76 T²mm²). If a child swallows the magnets, they could attract one another causing intestinal blockage or perforation. Moreover, the bag of the packaging is non-permeable and its closing includes drawstrings. If a child plays with it and tightens the drawstrings, the material can cover the mouth and nose, causing the child to suffocate.
