Urgent Quality Street recall - fears life-like Christmas baubles could be eaten
John Lewis has recalled a range of glass baubles amid concerns shoppers might tuck into the treat as they mistake them for the real thing
Safety chiefs have sounded the alarm over a set of Christmas baubles sold by John Lewis that looks just like Quality Street chocolates. Concerns have been raised that the tasty-looking festive decorations could lead to injuries if people confuse them for the edible treats.
But a nasty surprise awaits anyone who attempts to chomp down on these glass baubles, as they risk getting cuts in their mouths or on their hands. The Office for Product Safety and Standards has issued a recall notice, warning: "The products present a risk of cuts or injuries as they may be mistaken with real chocolates.
"If the glass baubles are bitten or swallowed the user could receive lacerations to the mouth or hands. The products do not meet the requirements of the Food Imitations (Safety) Regulations 1989 or the General Product Safety Regulations 2005."
The glass is probably cheaper than chocolate.... 3 please
Who would bite into a Quality Street without unwrapping it first?
The kind of person who has likely already eaten Christmas decorations that bear no resemblance to food.
Exactly, but people are really stupid. This is the future after all and we have people eating tide pods and McDonald's.
I bet the strawberry cream ones get eaten first.
Whuuuuuu???? You should come round our place, they're always the ones left in the bottom of the tub.
I bet you eat the ones with nuts in first when everyone knows the best are:
- Strawberry cream
- Caramel keg
- Orange crisp
