⚠️ Risk

The products pose a risk of choking and a chemical risk because, although not foodstuffs, they possess a form, colour, odour, appearance, packaging, labelling, volume and size, such that it is likely that consumers, especially children, will confuse them with foodstuffs. As a consequence, the products could be placed in the mouth or sucked or ingested, which might be dangerous and cause, for example, choking, poisoning or perforation or obstruction of the digestive tract.The products do not comply with the Directive 87/357/EEC on products which, appearing to be other than they are, endanger the health or safety of consumers.
