Soap in the shape of tarts and buns..

  • Brand Ancient wisdom.

Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

A soap product shaped like tarts and buns has been recalled due to a serious choking hazard. The soaps are designed to look like food items—tarts divided into 14 portions and individual buns in varieties such as strawberry and coconut, orange and lemon, chocolate and mint, and blueberry and apple hearts. Because of their food-like appearance, color, and form, consumers (particularly children) may mistake them for actual food. The products can be easily bitten into, creating a choking risk and potential for gastrointestinal upset if swallowed.

The recalled soaps were being sold individually in transparent cellophane packaging without labels or containers, making them even more likely to be confused with food. The buns that do carry labels are marked in a language other than Spanish. The authority has ordered the product withdrawn from the market. The source does not specify what affected consumers should do regarding products they may have already purchased.

Hazard

The product poses a serious risk of choking because the soaps may be misleading, in that their form, colour and appearance may lead consumers, and children in particular, to take them for a foodstuff. It is easy to bite off a piece of soap, which may pose a risk of choking and gastrointestinal upsets.
