The tyres of the toy car contain polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) in concentrations from 9 to 179 mg/kg. These PAHs are carcinogenic. The child can be exposed when the tyres come into direct and prolonged or repetitive contact with the skin or the mouth. According to the REACH Regulation these PAHs are prohibited in toys, including activity toys, and childcare articles.
The list of ingredients indicates that the hair dye contains sodium perborate. Sodium perborate in high doses is toxic and it may damage fertility or the unborn child. The product does not comply with the Cosmetic Products Regulation.
The amount of Chromium (VI) found in the leather is too high (measured value 16 mg/kg). Chromium (VI) is sensitising and may trigger allergic reactions. The product does not comply with the REACH regulation.

The suction cups can be easily detached from the projectiles and could be put in the mouth by a child and block the airways. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Toy Safety Directive and the relevant European standard EN 71-1.
The cables are not correctly marked. It is thus impossible to assess whether the cable meets the requirements of heavy-duty rubber-insulated cables. There is a risk that the cable is not suited to contact with water and that the user could consequently receive an electric shock on contact with the water. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Machinery Directive and the relevant European standard EN 60335.
The conductors in the cable are too thin. Overheating of the cable can cause parts of the insulation of the cable to disintegrate and thereby expose live sections of the cable which may be touched. Furthermore, there is a risk that the water pumped out will be under voltage. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Machinery Directive and the relevant European standard EN 60335.
Small and sharp-edged metal parts may become detached from inside the musical mechanism and fall inside the playpen or crib. A child could put these small parts in the mouth and choke or suffer injuries due to the sharp edges. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Toy Safety Directive and the relevant European standard EN 71-1.
The product contains aerobic mesophilic bacteria (measure value up to 6300 cfu/g). The contamination can cause eye irritation and inflammation of the conjunctiva. The product does not comply with the Cosmetic Products Regulation.
