What to do now

This recall is about choking: Candy Dynamics varieties of Toxic Waste Slime Lickers may block the airway if swallowed whole.

  1. Do not give it to children, and do not eat it yourself.
  2. Store it out of reach until it goes back.
  3. Return it to the shop where you bought it for a refund. Shops normally accept recalled food without a receipt.
  4. Look for other packs at home: the recall covers every pack that matches the details below.

Why it matters. Foods such as jelly mini-cups and some sweets can be sucked straight into the throat and do not dissolve quickly, which makes them hard to clear.
