Car air freshener - strawberry
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Auto Expressions strawberry-scented car air freshener (model 7584700977) is being recalled because it poses a choking hazard. The product resembles a real strawberry and has a strawberry scent, which could cause people—particularly children—to mistake it for food. If swallowed, the approximately 6 cm product could become lodged in the throat and create a serious choking risk similar to that of a small ball. The product does not meet European safety standards for items designed to look like something other than what they are.
The distributor has voluntarily stopped sales of this product. The product came in a blue blister pack measuring approximately 19 by 7 centimeters with strawberry images and the Auto Expressions brand name, and included a warning on the back to keep it out of reach of children and pets. The source does not specify what consumers should do if they already have this product.
