Reported risk: The suction cups contain di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) and dibutyl phthalate(DBP) (measured values >1% by weight). These phthalates may harm the health of children, causing possible damage to the reproductive system. They also contain di-isononyl phthalate (DINP) (measured value 0.12% by weight).According to the REACH Regulation, the phthalates DEHP, DBP and BBP are prohibited in all toys and childcare articles while the phthalates DINP, DNOP and DIDP are prohibited in toys and childcare articles which can be placed in the mouth by children. Moreover, the suction cups can easily detach from the projectiles. If a child puts them in the mouth, these can obstruct the airways. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Toy Safety Directive and the relevant European Standard EN 71-1.
