Risk Description
The product poses a serious risk of suffocation because the cord of the yo-yo ball is very elastic. During the test with a force of 2,8 N the cord of 205 mm stretched to 1500 mm. In addition, a child’s finger may jam into the loop of the cord. Due to these two faults the yo-yo ball may snake to the neck of the child and strangle him while playing with it. The product does not comply with the Toys Directive.
