Small components that can be easily undone. These items conform to EC standards of safety, but the buyer must be satisfied that each and every product purchased from the company is not a risk to the final recipient. (certain pens for example may form less risk than others in that they may require more effort to undo their components and we would strongly advise that these particular products are selected if the intended final recipient is a child). Attention should also be drawn to other items that are intended for older children and adults i.e. carrier bags, tote bags, rucksacks, teddy bears each item will state its suitable age. Please note if you are unsure of any item’s suitability with children the company must be informed in writing or the company holds no responsibility for the item’s suitability with children unless informed.
