Brand as notified
FOTOALBUM (on the sticker)
Type / model
EAN: 8511690050111 (on the sticker).
Description
9 large and 4 small hearts made from plastic material resembling gelatine, packed in a transparent plastic bag with a sticker marked with "FOTOALBUM", country of origin China, CE mark and EAN code.
Risk
The product poses a risk of choking because although the product is not a food, its form and appearance are such that it is likely that consumers, especially children, will confuse it with a foodstuff and place it in their mouth, suck or ingest it, which could be dangerous. The smaller hearts fit entirely into the small parts cylinder and pose a risk of choking for children. The product does not comply with the Directive 87/357/EEC on products which, appearing to be other than what they are, endanger the health or safety of consumers.
