Description
Rectangular yellow and pale yellow soaps wrapped in transparent cellophane, tied at each end with a yellow ribbon and labelled as follows: "Soap (in four languages), Nougat", list of ingredients, "Not edible".
Risk
The product poses a risk of choking because, given its appearance, colour, size, name and packaging, it could be confused with a foodstuff, especially by children. This may lead children to put it in their mouths and small parts can be generated if bitten, which could entail the risk of asphyxia or obstruction of the digestive tract. 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.
Measures
  • Voluntary withdrawal from the market and recall from consumers by the distributor
