Injuries, Choking and Suffocation

The product poses a risk of injuries because in some cases it is possible for the seat unit to be placed in an unlocked position as it is not wide enough.

Detachable foam, small metal parts and a valve cap in the access zone can be easily detached, put into the mouth and swallowed.

The product does not comply with the relevant European standard EN 1888.
