What is the danger
The product poses a risk of choking because it looks like food, and there is a risk that it could be mistaken by consumers, especially children, for a food product and therefore put into the mouth, sucked or swallowed. 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.
