Erasers - Pen Set
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Centrum has recalled a pen set containing two erasers shaped like a peanut and a chocolate bar due to choking hazard. The erasers are small enough to fit into a standard small parts cylinder and closely resemble actual food items in appearance, color, and size. This creates a risk that children may mistake them for food, put them in their mouths, and swallow them, potentially causing asphyxia or digestive tract obstruction. The product does not comply with EU regulations on products designed to look like other items that could endanger consumer safety. The affected set is labeled "Fun collection" with Article No. 10-29-883 (barcode 4003273268951) and includes a variant with barcode 5999509871899.
Authorities have ordered the product withdrawn from the market and recalled from consumers. The source does not specify what affected consumers should do in response to this recall.

The product poses a risk of choking as, due to its characteristic form, appearance, colour and size, the product may be mistaken for a foodstuff. The erasers fully fit into the small parts cylinder. This may lead children to put them in their mouths and swallow them, which could entail the risk of asphyxia or obstruction of the digestive tract. The product does not comply with the Directive 87/357/EEC on products which, appearing to be other than they are, endanger the health or safety of consumers.
