Hazard

Due to its characteristic form, appearance and packaging, consumers, especially children and debilitated people, may mistake the product for foodstuff and therefore swallow the liquid. Moreover, the product's packaging does not have the appropriate warnings. Users have therefore no information on the toxicity of the product, which could lead to burns. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Food imitating products Directive.

Measures taken

  • Recall of the product from end users — Distributor (25/10/2020)
