Category
Toys

Hazard: 1) The product has small parts (eyes, ring and link of the chain) that easily detach. A small child may put the toy in the mouth and choke on them. 2) The internal electronic box is easily accessible due to the weakness of certain seams and easily breaks releasing the button batteries and small parts. A child may put them in the mouth and choke, swallow them and suffer damage to the gastrointestinal tract. 3) Additionally the fur and the plastic material of the product's cables and suction cup contain an excessive amount of diisobutyl phthalate (DIBP), bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), di-‘isononyl’ phthalate (DINP), di-‘isodecyl’ phthalate (DIDP) and dibutyl phthalate (DBP)(measured values up to: 20 %, 13 %, 1.9 %, 0.65 % and 0.2 % by weight, respectively). These phthalates may harm the health of children, causing possible damage to their reproductive system and liver.
