Young chil­dren should not play with piggybanks

Please note that labels on Sproti piggybanks handed out by the Bank were insufficient. Piggybanks should not be used as toys, as small coins may fall out of them.
1 October 2021 - Landsbankinn

These piggybanks were wrongfully CE labelled by the producer, indicating that they were toys. New piggybanks will from here on include a warning label indicating that they will contain small items (coins), that they are not intended for children under 3 years of age and that they are not toys, in accordance with comments from the Consumer Agency. We encourage parents to be watchful and prevent young children from playing with Sproti piggybanks, and other types of piggybanks, as they are not intended for use as toys. Small coins may fall out and children can put them in their mouths, leading to a choking hazard.
