What is the danger

Due to its shape, colour, appearance and size, the product may be mistaken for foodstuff and the outer plastic packaging is too thin.

Requirements breached

Small parts can easily be detached from the product and this may lead children to put them in the mouth and choke. If a child plays with the packaging the plastic could cover the mouth and nose, blocking the airways. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Food-imitating products directive and the Toy Safety Directive.
