Description
The soap tarts are divided into 14 portions which the retailer sells separately in transparent cellophane without any label or container. The following varieties exist: strawberry and coconut, orange and lemon, blueberry and apple hearts. Different varieties of individual soap buns are also sold: strawberry and coconut, chocolate and mint, orange and lemon, blueberry and apple hearts. The buns carry a label in a language other than Spanish.
Risk
The product poses a serious risk of choking because the soaps may be misleading, in that their form, colour and appearance may lead consumers, and children in particular, to take them for a foodstuff. It is easy to bite off a piece of soap, which may pose a risk of choking and gastrointestinal upsets.
