The sound pressure level is too high (measured value up to 122.6 dB), which can cause damage to hearing. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Pyrotechnics Directive nor with the European standard EN 15947-5.
The rate of nickel release is too high (measured value up to 138 µg/cm²/week). Nickel is a strong sensitiser and causes allergic reactions if present in articles that come into direct and prolonged contact with the skin. The product does not comply with the REACH Regulation.
Due to its shape and colour, the lighter is appealing to children. They could play with it and suffer burns or cause a fire. The product does not comply with the General Product Safety Regulation nor with the European standard EN 13869.
The product has an excessive concentration of cadmium and lead (measured values: 58.4% and 0.7% by weight, respectively). Cadmium is harmful to human health because it accumulates in the body, can damage the kidneys and bones and it may cause cancer. Lead is harmful to human health, accumulates in the body, can cause developmental neurotoxicity and may also affect breast-fed or unborn children. The product does not comply with the REACH Regulation.
Cathode damage during production may accelerate battery ageing and increase the risk of fire. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.
The sky lantern ascends in an uncontrolled way and is blown by the wind without control. It may land anywhere when the flame has not yet gone out, come into contact with flammable objects and ignite them, causing a fire. The product does not comply with the General Product Safety Regulation.
The product presents a serious risk of fire because there is a lack of thermal protection, which could lead to overheating. Additionally, in case there is no water in it when it is plugged in and charging, it may ignite, leading to a risk of fire. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive
The impeller of the fuel pump may expand beyond specifications which can lead to low fuel pump pressure. In the event of fuel pump failure, the engine Malfunction Indication Light may illuminate on the dashboard. There is no warning before failure occurs, and as a result, there may be a risk of the engine not starting and/or loss of propulsion while driving. This increases the risk of accidents and injuries. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of Motor Vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.
The cream does not provide the announced level of Sun Protection Factor (SPF). Consumers may therefore suffer sunburn and the chronic consequences of excessive sun exposure through the UV radiation contained in sunlight when using the product, including immunosuppression, skin ageing and skin cancer. The product does not comply with the Cosmetic Products Regulation.
The bolts or rivets attaching the chains to the flail-cutter could break. The chains might consequently detach during use and hit the user causing injuries. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Machinery Directive nor with the Commission Decision 2012/32/EU prohibiting the placing on the market of flail-type cutting attachments for portable hand-held brush cutters.
The toy contains an excessive concentration of bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), dibutyl phthalate (DBP), diisobutyl phthalate (DIBP) and di-isononyl phthalate (DINP). The phthalates may harm the health of children, causing possible damage to their reproductive system. Moreover, the battery compartment can easily be opened without use of any tools and the batteries inside are easily accessible. If a child puts them in the mouth, the battery can overheat and release electrolyte which can be ingested by the child and cause damage to the gastrointestinal tract. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Toy Safety Directive.
The tricycle is not stable enough. When used on uneven ground, it could easily overturn, causing injury to the child. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Toy Safety Directive nor with the European standard EN 71-1.
The plug does not meet the dimensional requirements. Moreover the plug is not manufactured with a conforming fuse. As a result, the plug may overheat and/or explode. There is a risk of fire. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive.
The dimensions of the connection plug and socket do not comply with the specifications. Moreover, there is insufficient creepage and clearance distances between internal circuits.If there is a surge in the current or fault with the product, the plug may overheat and/or explode, leading to a risk of fire. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive.
The laser beam is too powerful. Direct viewing of it could cause damage to sight. Moreover, the product is not accompanied by the necessary warnings regarding its use. The product does not comply with the General Product Safety Regulation nor with the European standard EN 60825-1.
Vehicles fitted with a DV5R engine may experience a fuel leak. The non-conformity of the round shape on the cone of the common rail may cause the nut to loosen, resulting in the possibility of fuel leaking between the nut and the thread, leading to fuel vapours and fuel flow into the hot exhaust system. This may lead to a fire under the bonnet. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.
A defective module has been installed in the high-voltage battery, which may cause it to overheat and create a risk of fire. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.
The plastic of the packaging is too thin. If a child plays with it, the plastic can cover the mouth and nose, causing the child to suffocate. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Toy Safety Directive.
Due to the inadequate design of the product, live parts are easily accessible. The user could touch them and receive an electric shock. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive nor with the European standard EN 60884-1.
According to the list of ingredients, both products contain 2-(4-tert-butylbenzyl) propionaldehyde (BMHCA - Lilial), which is prohibited in cosmetic products. BMHCA may harm the reproductive system, may harm the health of the unborn child and may cause skin sensitisation. The product does not comply with the Cosmetic Products Regulation.
Because the safety mechanisms are easily bypassed, and because of the lack of a base plate, direct access to laser radiation during operation is possible. Looking directly into the laser beam or exposure via scattered radiation could damage a person’s sight. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Machinery Directive or with European standard EN 60825-1.
The product has an excessive concentration of cobalt (measured value: 0.0008%). Cobalt is a skin and respiratory sensitiser and may cause cancer. The product does not comply with the REACH Regulation.
The fuse delay is excessively long, which may lead users to approach the fireworks too early while it is still active, increasing the risk of being struck by pyrotechnic effects. Moreover, the sound pressure level is too high, which may cause damage to hearing. The fireworks may also burst or eject burning material outside the designated safety distance of 8 m or below a height of 3 m, potentially hitting and injuring users. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Pyrotechnics Directive nor with the European standard EN 15947.
The fireworks may burst or eject burning material outside the designated safety distance of 8 m or below a height of 3 m, causing injuries and/or burns to the user or bystanders. Furthermore, the sound pressure level is too high, which can cause damage to hearing.
