In the concerned vehicles, preliminary damage can be caused to the tyres through intensive use. Consequently an abrupt loss of air or even a blowout caused by the tyre heating up after long transportation drives on motorway/express roads and at high speeds cannot be excluded. An abrupt loss of air or a tyre blowout could impair the road behaviour of the vehicle and its driving stability.

A small child may put it in the mouth and choke. According to the REACH Regulation, DEHP, DBP and BBP phthalates are prohibited in all toys and childcare articles. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Toy Safety Directive and the relevant European standard EN 71-1.

The cross-sectional area of the wires is not sufficient. In case of a short-circuit, the wires may overheat and this could cause a fire. Moreover, the insulation of the plug is made of flammable material. The cover of the battery compartment can be easily removed and the dimensions of the plug are inadequate, which may leave live parts accessible and cause electric shock. In addition, the single insulated, internal connecting wires are easily accessible through the openings of the lamp housing, which may also cause an electric shock.
