A plastic ladybird toy with light and music (Model 3618) poses a risk of injury to children. During testing, the wheels on the toy's propulsion mechanism can come off, leaving an exposed axis that may jab a child. Additionally, the ladybird's face can detach during use, exposing internal moving parts that could trap or injure a child's fingers. The toy does not comply with the Toys Directive or the European standard EN 71-1, and the risk of injury is considered high.
