Bern, Switzerland (GenevaLunch) - The Swiss federal government is warning consumers not to buy sweet jellies that come in small plastic containers, which pose a “high’ risk of suffocation, if the container is sucked into the windpipe when the sweet is swallowed. The products have been banned in Switzerland since 2002 but they have recently been reappearing in the country, mainly in Asian shops, says the government.
