A breakage in the ventilation wheel could lead to small parts being ejected in the direction of the user leading to puncture wounds and further injuries. Moreover, live parts may become accessible, which could cause an electric shock. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Machinery Directive.
The plastic of the packaging is too thin and, if a child plays with it, the plastic can cover the mouth and nose causing the child to suffocate. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Toy Safety Directive and the relevant European standard EN 71-1. The plastic parts of the product contain di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) (measured value 21% by weight).

The metal rod that links the blue plastic pieces of the flower rattle detaches and generates small parts. A small child could put the small parts in the mouth and choke on them. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Toy Safety Directive and the relevant European standard EN 71-1.
The product poses a risk of electric shock for the following reasons. Firstly, the dimensions of the plug are substantially less than required. Secondly, the wire ends soldered to the terminals of the flashing unit and the LEDs are not adequately protected against pulling and twisting. Thirdly, the accessible basic insulated wires can come into contact with sharp edges of the flashing switch and control unit. Finally, the insulation provided by the shrink tubing for the lamps is inadequate.
The dimensions of the plug are too small and the wire ends soldered to the terminals of the flashing unit and the LED are not adequately protected against pulling and twisting. The accessible, basic insulated, wires can come into contact with sharp edges of the flashing switch and control unit. The cross-sectional area of the external and internal wires is too small and the wires could overheat and cause a fire. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive and the relevant European standard EN 60598.
The rattle and the inner ball can easily break and generate small parts and hazardous sharp points, posing a risk of choking and cuts for children. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Toy Safety Directive and the relevant European standard EN 71-1.
The following small parts can easily detach from the rattles: the right ear of the dog rattle, the lemon of the fruit rattle, and the inner balls.

All the rattles (except the fruit-shaped rattle), as well as the black plastic pieces attached to the end of the cord included in the outer hat, can easily break and generate small parts. A small child could put them in the mouth and choke on them. Moreover, the head of the bear-shaped rattle and the handle of the rattle marked 'Happy Music' can obstruct the airways, causing a risk of choking. In addition, several of the rattles can easily break and expose children to sharp points and edges, possibly causing cuts.
