Description
Puzzle made of plywood, 6 mm thick, dimensions approx. 28 cm x 21 cm. Individual figures depicting marine animals are placed on a board.
Risk
The product poses a chemical risk because it releases 3 000 mg/kg of formaldehyde. The wooden toy, given its form, is clearly designed to be played with also by children under the age of three. The warning therefore merely provides cover for the manufacturer.
