Candles
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
This recall involves decorative candles shaped and colored to resemble fruit—red apples, green apples, and yellow lemons—each approximately 3 centimeters in size. The candles are sold in buckets of 10 pieces and are identified by specific product codes (105760 for red apples, 105750 for green apples, and 105720 for yellow lemons) and corresponding EAN codes. The hazard is that children may mistake these candles for real fruit or candy and put them in their mouths, creating a choking risk and potential obstruction of the digestive tract.
A sales ban on these products has been ordered by authorities in Slovakia, where the recall originated. The record does not specify what action affected consumers should take with products already in their possession.
