Beautiful Pram
Brand: 

The safety lock of the pram is not sufficiently resistant to load and can release, causing the pram to collapse, which may result in a child being injured. In addition, the fingers of a child could be trapped between the moving parts while the pram collapses. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Toy Safety Directive and the relevant European standard EN 71-1.

Product: 
3.8M TELESCOOP LADDER
Brand: 

The ladder does not have sufficient mechanical strength and can bend or break during use, causing the user to fall from a height. In addition, the space between the rungs/steps is not equal when the ladder is not completely extended and the user could therefore miss his step, lose balance and fall from a height. Also, whilst unlocking the locking mechanism of certain rungs/steps, parts of the ladder above may descend very quickly and crush the user's fingers. The product does not comply with the relevant European standard EN 131.

Possible incorrect assembly of the left or right front flexible brake hose could lead to wear of the flexible brake hose by fretting on the wheel rim and on the tyre. Possible brake fluid leakage, which results as a consequence, could lead to long brake pedal travel and a decrease of braking efficiency.

The front wheel arch may be incorrectly installed. As a result, the brake hose may come into contact with the front wheel arch, causing wear of the brake hose by fretting. If the brake hose breaks and the brake fluid leaks out, the performance of braking could be compromised.
