The product poses a risk of choking because, due to its characteristic form, appearance, colour, size and smell, the product may be mistaken for a foodstuff (chocolate muffin). This may lead children or visually-disabled persons to put it in their mouth, bite it and swallow pieces, which could entail the risk of asphyxia or obstruction of the digestive tract.
