    Swallow it "by accident" then when it becomes tangled in your gut requiring surgery, go to the hospital, make a big scene on joe duffy and get 6million euro compensation.

    Probably less harmful to your health than the sweets.

    Throw it in the bin...

    Or

    Return it to the shop where you bought it with a detailed letter explaining your near death experience, in the hopes that they will never put anybody else's life in such peril..

    And then after an exhaustive investigation, they can throw it in the bin.

    OP it would be wise to let ALDI know, they issue product recalls all the time because of safety concerns, they can't unless concerns are reported though, all concerns are taken very seriously because quite frankly they have to, especially where sweets are concerned, kids wind pipes aren't really conducive to hard plastic.

    There is no need to go Joe Duffy on it, it might be a once off or it could be a manufacturing fault which contaminated a batch, either way it's a safety concern and it would be prudent to let them know.

    Write to the confectionery company and complain, they might send you out something. But the most you'd get out of them would probably be a cheque for €5 or a voucher for more sweets or something like that. I used to work for a confectionery company years ago and part of my job there was replying to complaint letters. Finding foreign objects in food in a really common thing. While I worked at the sweet company, we had customers that found hair, finger nails, used chewing gum, pieces of fabric, rubber and plastic, even teeth in sweet packets.

    When I was a child I bit into a Granby burger and there was some wood in it. We brought it back to the shop, they took our details and a few days later a man from granby pulled up outside the house. The bloke came in, spoke for about 5 minutes straight without letting us get a word in edgeways, and then gave us enough granby products to half fill a standing freezer. It was great.
