请看例句：

Lightbulb-shaped candies have proved a big seller in China during the holiday season after going viral online, but a health expert has warned the treat could be a choking hazard.

假日期间，灯泡糖继在网上走红后又在全国范围内热销。但健康专家警告称，这种糖果或存在令人窒息的风险。

这款灯泡糖(lightbulb-shaped candy)由焦糖制成(made from caramel)，按照1：1的比例制成灯泡的形状，长约10厘米，最宽处6厘米，很受在网上商城淘宝上寻找独特礼品的买家(shoppers looking for unique gifts)的喜爱，被不少人推崇为"吃得进去，拿不出来(easy to put it into your mouth but hard to get it back out)"的"神奇糖果(magic candy)"。

然而，北京中日友好医院耳鼻喉科主治医师毕青玲警告称，这款糖果可能会造成比真实灯泡更大的健康风险(cause more health risks than a real light bulb)。她表示，如果硬质糖果在嘴里停留时长超过一到两个小时，下颚关节就可能会脱位(the lower jaw joint could be dislocated)。一旦舌头因长时间压力而肿胀(the tongue swells due to the long-term pressure)，就可能造成窒息(suffocation)，这会是致命的。她建议消费者避免将整颗灯泡糖放进嘴里。
