The product presents a serious chemical risk as the plastic material from the hands and feet contains 0.011 ± 0.004% DEHP (bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate) and 1.3 ± 0.34% DBP (dibutyl phthalate). Phthalates may harm the health of children, possibly causing damage to the reproductive system.
Additionally, the product also presents a risk of choking as both the left foot and right hand detached at a force less than the specified minimum. The detached components create small parts capable of fitting inside a small parts cylinder. If a young child were to mouth or swallow the small parts, they may choke.
The product does not meet the requirements of the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011.
