What is the danger

The product poses a serious risk of choking because the soaps may be misleading, in that their form, colour and appearance may lead consumers, and children in particular, to take them for a foodstuff. It is easy to bite off a piece of soap, which may pose a risk of choking and gastrointestinal upsets.
