Vital · Decorative articles - FRUTAS DECORATIVAS - Decorative aubergines and peppers

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.
