What happened

A toy gun set called "Police set" (also known as Counterattack or Constabulary equip) has been recalled due to safety hazards. The set includes a black plastic gun with silver paint, black plastic darts with red suction caps, and a cardboard target. The suction caps can break into pieces upon impact and pose a choking hazard, as they are small enough to fit into a child's airway. Additionally, darts that lose their suction caps can cause injuries when fired from the gun. The product does not meet European safety standards for toys (Toys Directive and EN 71-1).

Authorities in Latvia have ordered the product withdrawn from the market and recalled from consumers, with destruction of remaining inventory required. The source does not specify what affected consumers should do with the toy or how to obtain a remedy.
