A POPULAR chocolate treat has been urgently recalled because it may contain shards of glass.<\/p>\n
Hotel Chocolat Choose Your Poison has been taken off shelves at John Lewis, as well as the manufacturer\u2019s high street and online stores.<\/p>\n

The Halloween cocktail chocolates are thought to contain the \u201cpossible presence of glass\u201d, according to the Food Standards Agency.<\/p>\n
It \u201ccould cause harm if inadvertently consumed\u201d, officials said.<\/p>\n
An FSA spokesperson said: \u201cHotel Chocolat recalls Hotel Chocolat Choose Your Poison because it may contain pieces of glass.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe possible presence of glass makes this product unsafe to eat.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe affected product is sold at Hotel Chocolat stores, online and at John Lewis stores.\u201d<\/p>\n The recalled products were sold between September 1 and 26 with lot numbers 23205, 23206 and 23207.<\/p>\n Lot numbers can be found on the packaging tag next to the best before end date.<\/p>\n They were sold in a glass flask with a cork stopper and have best before dates of January 2024.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n The FSA said if you have bought the product, do not eat it.<\/p>\n A spokesperson said: \u201cInstead, return it to the store from where it was bought for a full refund.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cFor further information contact Hotel Chocolat at help@hotelchocolat.com.\u201d<\/p>\n Hotel Chocolate said: "We\u2019re very sorry that it has been necessary to recall this product and for the inconvenience and concern caused."<\/p>\n If you bought the product from John Lewis, you should speak with John Lewis directly, they said.<\/p>\n Swallowing sharp objects like glass can injure the teeth, mouth and oesophagus (food pipe), and is a\u00a0choking\u00a0risk, particularly for young\u00a0children.<\/p>\n If fragments make it further into the body, this can puncture the intestines and cause internal bleeding in severe cases.<\/p>\n Choking happens when someone's airway suddenly gets blocked, either fully or partly.<\/p>\n Mild choking<\/p>\n If the airway is only partly blocked, the person will usually be able to speak, cry, cough or breathe, and may be able to clear the blockage themselves.<\/p>\n In adults:<\/p>\n In children:<\/p>\n Severe choking<\/strong><\/p>\n In adults:<\/p>\n Where choking is severe, the person won't be able to speak, cry, cough or breathe.<\/p>\n Without help, they'll eventually become unconscious, so you should carry out back blows.<\/p>\n In children:<\/p>\n Back blows can be carried out on children under one year.<\/p>\n If this doesn't work, chest thrusts can be started on kids up to 12 months old, and abdominal thrusts on those over one year.<\/p>\n Call 999 if the blockage doesn't come out after trying back blows and either chest or abdominal thrusts.<\/p>\n Keep trying this cycle until help arrives.<\/p>\n Even if the object has come out, get medical help. Part of the object might have been left behind, or the patient might have been hurt by the procedure.<\/p>\n<\/picture>HEALTH HAZARD <\/span><\/p>\n
