Danger:

Burns and Fire

The product poses a risk of burns and fire because
- the material surrounding the flame is inflammable.
- Left without control floating in a bridge, it can be pushed by the wind to the edgel. It is then very difficult or impossible to avoid the lanterns coming into contact with flammable material, e.g. dry vegetation or buildings.
In addition, the compulsory labelling information does not appear in Spanish.

Action Taken:

Withdrawal from the market ordered by the authorities.
