Hazard

The product presents a serious risk of choking as the plastic grapes resemble real grapes in terms of form, colour, appearance and size. They can easily detach from the fabric stems, creating small parts which pose a choking hazard to young children, particularly those under 36 months of age who have a natural tendency to explore objects by placing them in their mouths. The product does not meet the requirements of the Food Imitations (Safety) Regulations 1989.

Remedy

The goods have been seized by the local authority. The product is no longer available for sale.
