Description
Decorative fruit sold in packs of two units (pepper-aubergine and tomato-orange) with the reference ITEM No 0213775 and in packs of six units(potato, pear, water melon, apple, orange and peach) with reference ITEM No 0214906. They are packed in a transparent plastic bag with a cardboard label stapled to the top.
Risk
This product poses a risk of choking because, due to their characteristic form, appearance, colour and size of an aubergine and a pepper, they may be mistaken for a foodstuff. This may lead children to put them in their mouths and swallow them, which could entail the risk of asphyxia or obstruction of the digestive tract. The tests confirm that small pieces break off from the ends of the samples. And these parts fit fully into the small parts cylinder.
