  • Brand Riding Star
  • UPC 7100010005590

Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

The Special Gun (Riding Star) toy set poses serious safety hazards because the suction cups on the arrows detach easily. If fired without the suction cups attached, the arrows can cause injuries. Additionally, if the suction cups become detached and enter a child's mouth, they may cause asphyxiation. The product fails to meet requirements under the Toys Directive and European standard EN 71.

The set includes a black and orange shotgun, a black small gun, six flexible plastic darts with orange suction cups, a black walkie-talkie, and three target figures, packaged in a window box and marked with bar code 7100010005590. Authorities have ordered the product withdrawn from the market, but the source does not specify what remedy is available to consumers who have already purchased it.
