The switches with safety functions are designed as normally open switches. If the safety switches are dirty or their springs are not working properly, users could access the blades during usage, leading to injuries. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Machinery Directive.
The product expands in size when in contact with water. If a child puts the product in the mouth or swallows it, contact with saliva or stomach liquids will cause the product to expand, which can result in occlusion of the respiratory tract or intestinal blockage. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Toy Safety Directive nor with the European standard EN 71-1.
The product's upper surface temperature difference is excessive, which could lead to burns or a fire.Moreover, the earthing continuity on the upper plate depends on a helical spring, rendering it inadequate, and the connection between the earth terminal or earth contact and the earthed metal parts have excessive resistance. The user can therefore touch live parts and receive an electric shock. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive nor with the European standards EN 60335-1 and 60335-2.
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 total filtration capacity of the mask is insufficient (measured as low as 92 %). Consequently, the product does not fulfil the health and safety requirements. Thus, even if combined with other recommended measures, it may not properly protect. The product does not comply with the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Regulation nor with the European standard EN 149.
The contact pins on the power supply plug are uninterrupted, leaving live parts accessible to the user when plugging it into a socket and opening the cover to place something in the casing. The user could therefore receive an electric shock. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive.
The product contains an excessive amount of the allergenic fragrance limonene (measured value up to 2.06%), which can lead to skin sensitisation. Moreover, according to the list of ingredients, the product contains sodium tetraborate (borax), which is prohibited in cosmetic products. Borax may be toxic for reproduction. The product does not comply with the Cosmetic Products Regulation.
The product's lack of safety functions such as a chain brake, an ergonomic handle and switch function may seriously injure the user if the saw chain blocks or kicks back. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Machinery Directive nor with the European standard EN 62841-4.
The connector hood may become detached after frequent assembly and disassembly. It no longer provides protection against electric shocks as live parts could become accessible. The user could touch accessible live parts, which may lead to an electric shock.Moreover, the power cable may heat excessively. This may cause damage to the cable and lead to overheating and fire. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive nor with the European standards EN 60335-2.
The cable feed-through from the handle of the product to the upper heating plate is not sufficiently insulated. The user can therefore have access to live parts and receive an electric shock. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive nor with the European standard EN 60335-1.
Furthermore, 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.
A transmission leak may reduce lubrication and cause the transmission to overheat. This could lead to mechanical failure of the gearbox input shaft and, in rare adverse conditions, may result in a fire if the broken shaft comes into contact with oil-saturated acoustic insulation beneath the gearbox. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of two- or three-wheel vehicles and quadricycles.
According to the list of ingredients, the product contains Diphenyl (2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl)phosphine oxide (TPO), which is prohibited in cosmetic products. TPO may harm the reproductive system, may harm the health of the unborn child and may cause allergic skin reactions. The product does not comply with the Cosmetic Products Regulation.

TPO may harm the reproductive system, may harm the health of the unborn child and may cause allergic skin reactions. The product does not comply with the Cosmetic Products Regulation.
The impact absorption capacity of the helmet is insufficient. In the event of an impact, users may suffer head injuries. The product does not comply with the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Regulation nor with the European standard EN 1078.
The soother holder does not have the required ventilation holes, which could lead to suffocation. Moreover, the garment fastener can easily break causing a screw to become detached. Small children may put it in the mouth and choke or be injured by its sharp points The product does not comply with the General Product Safety Regulation nor with the European standard EN 12586.
The ABS-ESP control unit may have been incorrectly programmed by the supplier, preventing detected failures from being communicated to the vehicle dashboard. As a result, if the braking control system fails, the driver may not receive a warning that the following functions are unavailable: emergency brake assist, anti-lock braking system (ABS), electronic stability programme (ESP), automatic emergency braking (AEB), hydraulic brake booster (HBB), and hydraulic braking compensation (HBC), increasing the risk of an accident. 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 product is classified as this product as posing an aspiration hazard and may cause eye and skin irritation and toxicity but lacks the required labelling, a child-resistant fastening and tactile warnings. The user is therefore not adequately informed about the risks when using this product. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures (CLP).
The propellant in the driver airbag may deteriorate over time. If the airbags deploy, it could result in fragments from the inflator injuring the vehicle's occupants. 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 battery compartment can easily be opened without use of any tools, making the button batteries inside easily accessible. A child may put them in the mouth and swallow them, which could cause damage to the child’s gastrointestinal tract and/or choking. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Toy Safety Directive nor with the European standards EN 71-1 and EN 62115.
The propellant in the driver airbag may deteriorate over time. If the airbags deploy, it could result in fragments from the inflator injuring the vehicle's occupants. 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 creepage and clearance distances between the primary and secondary circuits are inadequate. Furthermore, the capacitor of the product is insufficient and the conductors are not fixed properly. The user could therefore touch accessible live parts and receive an electric shock. Moreover, in the event of an electrical surge or fault, the printed circuit board may overheat and ignite, causing a fire. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive.
The puzzle mat pieces can easily break, generating small parts. Children may put these in the mouth and choke. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Toy Safety Directive nor with the European standard EN 71-1.
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.
