Description
These are candles in the form of various kinds of sweets. They are packed in rigid transparent plastic boxes, wrapped in a gift ribbon from which a label printed "chocolate" hangs. They also have an adhesive label which carries the details of the importer and the bar codes.
Risk
Given their form, colour and size, these candles may lead consumers and young children in particular, to mistake them for foodstuffs. As candles, they are easy to bite, and a piece might be swallowed, which may entail a risk of choking and gastrointestinal upsets.
