Candle – coffee candle (aromatherapy)
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Nonna & Sons coffee candles sold as aromatherapy products have been recalled due to a choking hazard. The candles are designed to resemble cappuccino coffee drinks, complete with coffee bean decorations and dark wax pieces that look like chocolate on top. Because of their realistic appearance, smell, and size, children could mistake them for food and put them in their mouths. The coffee bean decorations and chocolate-like pieces can become loose and detached, creating a specific choking risk if swallowed. The product fails to comply with safety regulations that prohibit items designed to look like food when they are not.
The recalled product is a set of two candles in ceramic cups, packed in a transparent box inside brown cardboard with a paper band labeled "coffee candle aromatherapy." It can be identified by model/item number 53.2684 and EAN code 5906922678998. Authorities have ordered the product withdrawn from the market and directed that consumers be informed, though the specific recall remedy or instructions for consumers are not detailed in this record.
