What happened

Miss Gel window decorations have been recalled because they pose a choking and suffocation hazard. These products are small sticky elements made to look like jelly candies in various colors, and they could be mistaken for food—particularly by children—who might put them in their mouths, suck, or swallow them. The products do not comply with EU safety regulations for items that resemble food or other consumable products.

The products are packed in clear packages labeled "Miss Gel" with instructions to decorate windows, mirrors, computer screens, or other non-porous surfaces, and they include a warning that they are not suitable for children under three years old due to small parts that can be swallowed. A sales ban has been ordered by authorities. The source does not specify what action affected consumers should take regarding products already purchased.
