Hazard
There is a risk of choking & chemical burn as two parts of the handle were simply ‘clipped’ together and pulled apart with minimal effort, thereby giving access to the button cells. The possible risk of access to small cell batteries presents a choking hazard as well as a chemical risk as if swallowed, it can result in serious internal chemical burns and damage to the gastrointestinal tract.
The product does not meet the requirements of the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011.
