Candles in the form of sweets (Unknown)
Candles designed to look like candy have been recalled due to safety concerns. The products, which come in various sweet shapes and colors, are packaged in clear plastic boxes with gift ribbons and labels indicating "chocolate." Because of their candy-like appearance, consumers—particularly young children—may mistake them for actual food and attempt to eat them. The candles are easy to bite, and swallowing pieces poses risks of choking and gastrointestinal upset.
The recalled products include reference numbers 05555, 05556, 05557, and 05558, with corresponding bar codes 8431175055564, 8431175055571, 8431175055557, and 8431175055588. These products were notified from Spain and have been ordered to be withdrawn from the market by authorities. The source does not specify what remedy consumers should pursue.
