What the authority reported
The battery compartment can easily be opened without use of any tools and the batteries inside are easily accessible. If a child puts them in the mouth, the batteries can overheat and release electrolyte which can be ingested by the child and cause damage to the gastrointestinal tract. Moreover, the LED light is too powerful. Direct viewing of the laser beam could cause damage to sight. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Toy Safety Directive nor with the European standard EN 62115.
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.
