⚠️ Risk

The product poses a risk of choking as, due to the characteristic form, appearance, colour and size, the sets’ eraser may be mistaken for a foodstuff (ice-cream stick). This may lead children to put it in their mouths, bite it into pieces and swallow it, which could entail the risk of asphyxia or obstruction of the digestive tract.
