What is the danger
The product poses a risk of choking because the cherry, strawberry, apple or lemon slice decoration on the towelling cloth can become easily detached. The artificial fruits fit completely into the small parts cylinder. It is therefore likely that children might mistake them for foodstuffs and swallow them. 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.
