Summary: The European Commission published on 25 April 2022 its annual report on the Safety Gate, the European Union's rapid alert system for dangerous non-food products. Further information: This Rapid Alert System (RAS) ensures that information about dangerous non-food products withdrawn from the market and/or recalled anywhere in Europe is quickly circulated between Member States and the European Commission. This way, appropriate follow-up action can be taken everywhere in the EU. The report covers alerts notified during 2021 and the actions taken by national authorities in response. In this annual report, for the first time, cars are at the top of the list of notified products, followed by toys. Also, in the context of the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic, protective equipment like face masks still makes up a substantial part of the products notified. |
