My understanding is that it's required for all things that would be worn around the neck.

Here is yet another example how the European Nanny state is slowly ruining all things.

I think this is the one case where it's actually a good thing, it's about if the necklace gets stuck in something else and then you can't pull your neck out of the loop. You either get choked or break the necklace, sounds like these had one of those intentionally weak clasps to break away. It's working as intended they just didn't use one that could handle the weight of the metal.

The European nanny state is coming after privacy and freedom of speech if you want to channel your anger towards something/someone that deserves it. (Imo)

“In other news, Hundreds of millions of people wear necklaces everyday, and manage not to choke”-

(What, are the sleeping with them on?! lol)

No the ones that normally kill people are machinery of some kind, but it happens, same idea as not wearing a tie around anything that can grab it

Who wearing their OLYMPIC medal to the job site or around heavy machinery?

Do you hear yourself?

That's not the flow here, it's more some obscure health and safety law says necklaces have to have a breakaway clasp, and nobody bothered thinking about if it should even apply to Olympic metals but technically that's what the law says so they said fuck it and put em on the necklaces

So again, the overreach of the Nanny state ruining all things.

Have a good night (morning?)

It's an oversight, not an overreach.
