Gel decorative stickers
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Gel decorative stickers sold under the brand names Gel Magic and Jel Stickers have been recalled due to a choking hazard. The products are gelatine-like stickers shaped like red hearts, fish, and starfish that resemble food and are small enough that children may place them in their mouths. The stickers are very sticky, and the larger shapes can be torn into small pieces, both of which create a serious choking risk. The recalled products include model numbers JS-1003, JS-2003, JS-2030, with various bar codes listed in the details.
Authorities have ordered the products to be withdrawn from the market. The source does not specify what action affected consumers should take with products they may have already purchased.

The products pose a risk of choking because although not foodstuffs, their shape, colour, appearance and size is such that it is likely that consumers, especially children, will confuse them with foodstuffs and in consequence, place them in their mouth or suck or ingest them, which might be dangerous and cause choking. The small hearts fit into the small parts cylinder and, in combination with the fact that they are very sticky, pose a serious risk of choking. In addition, the larger shapes can be easily torn and create small parts that also fit into the small parts cylinder. The products do not comply with the Directive 87/357/EEC on products which, appearing to be other than what they are, endanger the health or safety of consumers.
