⚠️ Risk

The product poses a risk of choking, because small parts of the decoration in the form of bunnies, which are glued to the front of the slipper can be easily detached and swallowed.

Children’s slippers made entirely of artificial material with a glued element on the front – a bunny’s head with long ears, which can be easily detached and swallowed. The slippers are available in red, blue, purple and pink colours. On the insoles there is an inscription “MAKE” and a symbol indicating the size (20, 22). The number 20 or 22 is inscribed on the sole. There are also two animal figures vaguely outlined. The slippers are sold without packaging.
