MASTERETAIL · Decorative article - grapes
The product poses a risk of choking and suffocation as, due to its characteristic form, appearance, colour and size, the product (grapes) may be mistaken for a foodstuff. The grapes can be detached with a force of less than 50 N and fully fit into the small parts cylinder. 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 product does not comply with the Directive 87/357/EEC on products which, appearing to be other than they are, endanger the health or safety of consumers.
