effective packaging to protect them
during transportation. Only the
minimum packaging necessary is used.
Packaging materials (e.g. foil or
styrofoam) can place children at risk.
Danger of suffocation. Keep
packaging material away from
children.
All packaging materials used are
environment friendly and can be
recycled. The cardboard is made from
recycled paper and the wooden parts
are untreated. Plastic items are marked
as follows:
