Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

Crystal soap products shaped like sliced fruit (pineapple, orange, and peach) sold by Lutex SRL are being recalled due to a choking hazard. The soaps can partially deform and shed small pieces that fit into a small parts cylinder, posing a suffocation or choking risk to children who might place these pieces in their mouths. The products fail to comply with European safety directives for items that resemble food but are not edible.

The affected products are 100-gram glycerine soaps packaged in clear hard plastic with labels in Bulgarian and other languages. The specific models include pineapple soap (barcode 4892505084007), orange soap (barcode 4892505084021), and peach soap (barcode 4892505024850). Authorities have ordered a sales ban, market withdrawal, and consumer recall. The source does not specify what action affected consumers should take.
