What is the danger
These products pose a risk of choking because the cookies have small parts which become easily detached. These small parts fit within the small parts cylinder. Due to their characteristic form, appearance, colour and size, the products may be mistaken for a foodstuff. This may lead children to put them in their mouths and swallow them, which could entail the risk of asphyxia or obstruction of the digestive tract.
