The balloons release an excessive amount of nitrosatable substances and nitrosamines (measured values up to: 4.28 mg/kg and 0.266 mg/kg, respectively). Nitrosamines can cause cancer if swallowed or through skin contact. A child could be exposed to them if they touch the product or put it in their mouth. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Toy Safety Directive.
The puzzle mat pieces can easily break while a child is playing, generating small parts. Children may put these in the mouth and choke. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Toy Safety Directive nor with the European standard EN 71-1.
The product has small parts (plastic muzzle and eye) that may easily detach. Small children may put them in their mouth and choke. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Toy Safety Directive nor with the European standard EN 71-1.
Manufacturing errors in the production of steering components may result in components having reduced fatigue strength or being susceptible to breakage. If one of the components breaks, the steering may fail, creating a risk of accidents. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.
The steering components (including steering rods, push rods and tie rods) may have a manufacturing defect. Some parts may not have been hardened correctly during production, which could make them wear out faster and become weaker over time. This could cause the part to break, especially when turning the steering wheel at low speeds. If this happens, the driver could lose control of the vehicle, increasing the risk of an accident. The product does not comply with the requirements laid down in the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.
The supplied plug does not incorporate a fuse, which is required for safe operation under fault conditions. This could cause the plug to overheat, posing a risk of fire. Improvements are also required to product documentation and marking. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the type-approval and market surveillance of two- or three-wheel vehicles and quadricycles.
The toy has an excessive concentration of bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) and dibutyl phthalate (DBP) (measured values up to 2.86% and 0.34% by weight, respectively). These phthalates may harm the health of children, causing possibly damage to the reproductive system. The product does not comply with the REACH Regulation.
During installation of the high-security locks, metal shavings from the B-pillar may have damaged the seatbelt. This could reduce the restraining effectiveness of the seatbelt in the event of an accident, increasing the risk of injury. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.
The toy contains small magnets with a high magnetic flux (value up to 1,09 T²mm²) which can be easily detached. If a child swallows the small magnets, they could attract one another causing intestinal blockage or perforation. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Toy Safety Directive nor with the European standard EN 71-1.
A seat belt anchorage buckle may not lock properly, which could prevent the seat belt from adequately restraining the occupant in certain collision scenarios, increasing the risk of injury. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.
The supplied plug does not meet dimensional requirements and does not have capacity for a fuse, which is required for safe operation under fault conditions. These could cause the adaptor or plug to catch fire or explode, posing a risk of fire. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Machinery Directive.
The supplied plug does not have capacity for a fuse, which is required for safe operation under fault conditions. This could cause the plug to overheat, posing a risk of fire. Improvements are also required to product documentation and marking. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the type-approval and market surveillance of two- or three-wheel vehicles and quadricycles.
The insulation of the product and the clearance/creepage distances between the primary and secondary circuits are not sufficient. Consequently, the user may receive an electric shock. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive nor with the European standards EN 62368 and EN 50075.
The toy consists of small magnets with high magnetic flux (measured value up to 351 kG²mm²). If a child swallows them, they could attract one another causing intestinal blockage or perforation. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Toy Safety Directive.
The supplied plug does not have capacity for a fuse, which is required for safe operation under fault conditions. This could cause the plug to overheat, posing a risk of fire. Improvements are also required to product documentation and marking. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the type-approval and market surveillance of two- or three-wheel vehicles and quadricycles.
The rated current of the plug is lower than the rated current of the socket. Consequently, the device may overheat and cause fire or burns. Moreover, the clearance and creepage distances between plug pin and grounding are inadequate, which may cause electric shock to the user. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive nor with the European standard EN 60884-2.
Floating seats with leg openings must not have any overwater structures. In windy conditions, the float may be lifted, tipped over, pushed away, or destabilised, creating risks of falls, capsizing, separation from the caregiver, entrapment, or drowning. The product does not comply with the General Product Safety Regulation
Pillows and soft toys are advised not to be placed in the sleep space for babies under the age of one year as their presence increases the risk of overheating and airway obstruction, which have been associated with sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). The product may lead to suffocation when used in a sleep space for babies. The product does not comply with the General Product Safety Regulation.
The bolts and rivets attaching the chains to the flail-cutter could break. The chains might consequently detach during use and hit the user causing injuries. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Machinery Directive nor with the Commission Decision 2012/32/EU prohibiting the placing on the market of flail-type cutting attachments for portable hand-held brush cutters.

The insulation of the product is inadequate. The user could therefore touch accessible live parts during light source replacement and receive an electric shock. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive nor with the European standard EN 60598-1.
Incorrect tightening torque and a missing locking pin may cause the wheels to detach from the lower control arm. This could affect driving stability, increasing the risk of an accident and injuries. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of two- or three-wheel vehicles and quadricycles.
