Easter is approaching and the Consumer Protection Service, aiming to promote the safety of children in particular, will carry out a control and information campaign on children's toys, whose demand and use is increased at such times.
The campaign will take place during the period 04/04/2022 - 15/04/2022, during which it is planned to check more than 120 toy retail outlets nationwide, in order to identify non-compliant toys and take proportionate measures. The inspections will also cover toys sold together with Easter candles and Easter (chocolate/plastic) eggs and at the same time the economic operators will be informed.
At the same time, the Service will continue to inform consumers in order to protect their health and safety more effectively. As part of the campaign, an information leaflet entitled www.consumer.gov.cy ) has been prepared and posted on the Agency's website (www.consumer.gov.cy ).consumer.gov.cy/meci/cyco/cyconsumer.nsf/all/3AC1EDD2A6001EFDC2257F0A0027396C/$file/%CE%A3%CF%85%CE%BC%CE%B2%CE%BF%CF%85%CE%BB%CE%AD%CF%82%20%CE%B3%CE%B9%CE%B1%20%CF%84%CE%BF%20%CE%A0%CE%AC%CF%83%CF%87%CE%B1.pdf?openelement]"Tips for Easter"[/URL].
