Dangerous product - imitation of a raspberry

(Prague, June 1, 2010) The Czech Trade Inspection detected that on the market of the Czech Republic product is offered to consumers that is very dangerous especially to children.

We speak about a realistic imitation of the whole raspberry which is easily interchangeable with groceries (fruits) due to its outfit, size, shape and colour.

Realistic imitations of fruits were sold without any package. In the time of the control, the products were not equipped with any information on producer, importer or supplier. They were not equipped with any information on the product use. Nor importer, nor producer was identified within the control.

The performed product’s examination detected that children can separate (bite off) small parts (balls) and put them in mouth which is of high risk of suffocation or digestive tract problems. The product’s consummation and related complications are supposed to appear especially in persons with lower ability to distinguish, especially in children.

In the context of the detected facts, we can say that the examined product has features of a product dangerous due to its interchangeability with groceries. This was the reason why the Czech Trade Inspection issued measures to withdraw the particular product from the market.
