What is the danger
The product poses a risk of choking because due to their characteristic form, appearance, colour and size, the products may be mistaken for a foodstuff (cookies). This may lead children to put them in their mouths, bite off and swallow small parts fitting into the small part cylinder, which could entail the risk of asphyxia or obstruction of the digestive tract. The product does not comply with the Directive 87/357/EEC on the prevention of the risk resulting from the use of certain products designed to resemble foodstuffs.
