Dama · Lipsticks in the form of sweets and dummies.
The product poses a risk of choking because, due to its characteristic form, appearance, colour and size, the product may be mistaken for a foodstuff. This may lead children to put them into 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.
