Description
The candle looks like four scoops of chocolate ice-cream in a chocolate sauce. The candle is placed in a glass bowl and smells like chocolate. The approximate dimensions for the candle in bowl are: 70 mm high and 90 mm wide. One chocolate scoop is 36 mm in diameter.
Risk
The product poses a risk of choking because, due to its characteristic form, appearance, colour and size, the product may be mistaken for a foodstuff (chocolate ice-cream). This may lead children or visually-disabled persons to put it in their mouth, bite it and swallow pieces, which could entail the risk of asphyxia or obstruction of the digestive tract. This product does not comply with the Directive 87/357/EEC concerning products which, appearing to be other than they are, endanger the health or safety of consumers.
