Towelling cloths — choking risk
Hazard
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.
Measures taken
- Sales ban, withdrawal from the market and recall from consumers ordered by the authorities — Other
Product description
