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.”

    My missus will defend me! She actually thinks Quality Street are better than Roses! She’s a certified nutcase who will take down anybody!

      Careful, my wife grew up on the mean streets of Hampstead.

      But she’s got no opinion on whether Quality Street or Rises are better which came as a surprise to me.

        No opinion… or an opinion so wrong that she’d end up in prison for it??? 🤔

        She’s a bit noncommittal on them. I should have seen the warning signs sooner, in hindsight.
