The Spanish Agency for Consumer Affairs, Food Safety and Nutrition included 58 alerts for non-food products in February on its Web.

• Most of these notifications were for Toys and Vehicles and Accessories.
• For sixteen of these, the possible risk was reported and corrected by the manufacturer; and the remaining units were withdrawn from the market.

In February, the Spanish Agency for Consumer Affairs, Food Safety and Nutrition (AECOSAN) published on its Web 58 notifications received through the Alert Network because they may pose a serious risk to consumers. Of these, 42 were withdrawn from the market and their sale banned.

For the remaining 16, it was the manufacturer who, as required by law, notified the consumer authorities of the existence of possible risks in their products and took the necessary actions to reduce these.

MOST NOTIFIED PRODUCTS

Toys (21) and vehicles and accessories (14) are the products which received most notifications. In the case of toys, due to the special monitoring to which they are subject by the inspection services as they are intended for a vulnerable population and in vehicles and accessories, the monitoring performed by the producers themselves.

The risks posed are the consequence of the irregularities observed.
