Product
Soft toy
Description
Pink unicorn-shaped soft toy with ears and horn, black plastic eyes, and a shiny rainbow-coloured bow. A suction cup is attached to the head of the toy with a white loop.
Risk
The toy has a small part (suction cup) and a fibrous stuffing material that can easily detach. A child may put it in the mouth and choke. The plastic material of the suction cup contains an excessive concentration of dibutyl phthalate (DBP) (measured value up to 10 % by weight). This phthalate may harm the health of children, possibly causing damage to their reproductive systems. The product does not comply with the REACH Regulation, nor with the requirements of the Toy Safety Directive nor with the European standard EN 71-1.
