What the authority reported
The material of which the balloons are made releases an excessive amount of nitrosatable substances and nitrosamines (measured values: 1.83 mg/kg and 0.14 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.
What to do
Follow the instructions in the official notice — recall remedies (refund, repair, replacement, or disposal) are defined by the issuing authority and the responsible business, and they differ per recall. Do not rely on summaries, including this one.
