⚠️ Riziko

The product poses a risk of electric shock because it produces a series of electrical impulses when the central button is pressed. The electrical impulses are generated between the button pressed and the metal housing of the toy. Consequently, a flow of current is produced that passes through the hand of the user and is enclosed between the palm of the hand holding the toy and the finger pressing the central button (usually the thumb).This product does not comply with the Low Voltage Directive and the relevant European standard.
