[PIO] Campaign to control children's toys

Ahead of the Christmas holidays, in order to promote the safety of children in particular, the Consumer Protection Agency will carry out a control and information campaign on children's toys, whose demand and use is increased during this period.

The campaign will run until Christmas. It is planned to check more than 100 toy retail outlets nationwide, in order to identify and withdraw dangerous and non-compliant children's toys. Economic operators will also be informed during the campaign.

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, a brochure entitled "Tips for a Safe Christmas" has been prepared and posted on the Agency's website. The brochure offers useful advice on how to prevent accidents that often occur during the festive season. Further, it is recalled that there is a leaflet posted on the Agency's website entitled "Risks from small objects", which provides guidance on how parents can control small objects in the environment of children up to three years old to keep them away from them.
