Small parts can easily detach from the toy (i.e. the plastic stickers, the wheels, the pull cord, the axis of the rear wheels and the inner fragments of the musical mechanism). A small child could put them in the mouth and choke on them. Furthermore, the plastic bag of the packaging is too thin and if a child plays with it, the plastic can cover her/his 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 product can easily break and generate small parts (the on/off button, the vanes and the cap as well as the inner mechanism of the helix). A small child could put them in the mouth and choke on them. Furthermore, the plastic bag of the packaging is too thin. If a child plays with the packaging, the plastic could cover his/her mouth and nose, causing the child to suffocate. In addition, the toy includes a metal plate at the bottom of the helix with sharp edges, posing a risk of cuts.
