Ideal home range decorative articles – christmas cookies — choking & injuries risk

EU Safety GateSerious riskChokingInjuriesDec 21, 2007

Hazard

These products pose a risk of choking and injuries because, two of the cookies have ‘peanut’ halves on them which become detached by a force of less than 50 N, which then reveals spikes which were deemed to be sharp points. Due to their characteristic form, appearance, colour and size, the products may be mistaken for a foodstuff. This may lead children to put them in their mouths and swallow them, which could entail the risk of asphyxia or obstruction of the digestive tract. The tests confirm that small pieces break off from the ends of the samples. These small parts fit within the small parts cylinder.
