Eraser - School’s Set Fancy
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Stationery sets containing erasers shaped like ice-cream sticks have been recalled due to choking hazards. Each set includes two pencils, a ruler, a sharpener, a notebook, and an eraser approximately 6cm x 3.5cm x 0.8cm. The erasers resemble ice-cream sticks in appearance, color, and size, which could cause children to mistake them for food and place them in their mouths, bite them into pieces, and swallow them, posing risks of asphyxia or digestive tract obstruction. The sets are sold in plastic handbags with warning labels stating they are not suitable for children under 3 years and contain small parts that can be swallowed, though these items cannot be purchased separately.
The distributor has voluntarily withdrawn the product from the market. The recall was notified by Greece and involves sets with code ND3375-1 and potentially other model numbers. The source does not specify what affected consumers should do regarding their possession of these sets.
