Product
Puff-puff cigar in display box
Brand
Puff-Puff Cigar
Type / model
4012825533010, 533001
Description
Imitation cigar (rolled paper resembling a lit cigar), with ash at the tip. Blowing into it releases a fine white powder from the tip, which is supposed to look like real smoke.
Risk
The product poses a chemical risk because the joke cigars could foreseeably be not only blown into but also inhaled, as with real cigars. The inhaled starch-talcum mixture may lead to respiratory tract irritation and inflammation and, depending on the frequency and intensity, delayed effects cannot be ruled out.
Measures
