⚠️ Risk

null The product poses a risk of choking because, during normal handling, the plastic whistle contained in the toy may detach and its dimensions (diameter 1.3 cm, length 1.9 cm) are such that it can be easily swallowed.The product does not comply with the Toys Safety Directive and with the relevant European standard EN 71-1.

The toy is a truncheon made from a semi-soft plastic material. A plastic whistle is located in the base which makes a noise when the truncheon is pressed or squashed. A label on the truncheon bears the barcode, the price and the words: “CE-MADE IN ITALY”.
