What is the danger
The product poses a risk of choking because, although it is not a food, the form and appearance are such that it is likely that consumers, especially children, will confuse it with a foodstuff and consequently either place the product in their mouth, suck or ingest it, which could cause choking. The product does not comply with the Directive 87/357/EEC on products which, appearing to be other than they are, endanger the health or safety of consumers.
