The product poses a risk of strangulation due to the presence of a drawstring in the hood. The product poses a risk of injuries due to the presence of toggles and knots on a drawstring with free ends. The drawstring is made out of rubber and, if pulled, the toggles may therefore spring back into the eyes and face of the child. The product does not comply with the relevant European EN 14682.
