Reported risk: The product has an excessive concentration of bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) and dibutyl phthalate (DBP) (measured values: 4.6% and 15.6% by weight, respectively). These phthalates may harm the health of children, possibly causing damage to the reproductive system. Additionally, the toy contains small parts (suction cup) which can easily detach. A small child may put them in the mouth and choke. Moreover, the fibrous stuffing material of the toy is easily accessible due to the weakness of certain seams. A small child may put the filling material in the mouth and choke.
