⚠️ Risk

The swing poses a risk of injuries to the heads of children because the impact force from the swing is too high (measured acceleration was 220 g whereas the requirement in EN 71-8 is that it should be less than 50 g). The product does not comply with the Toys Directive and the relevant European standard EN 71.
