Reported risk: Small parts (the cap on the tube) can easily detach from the toy in two halves. A small child may put them in the mouth and choke. The plastic material of the product contains an excessive amount of bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) and dibutyl phthalate (DBP) (measured values 0.58% and 10% by weight, respectively). These phthalates may harm the health of children, causing possible damage to their reproductive system. The product does not comply with the REACH Regulation.
