The Consumer Protection Service, taking into account the risks posed by inflatables and other marine/water equipment, especially during the summer months when there is an abundance of such equipment on the market and their use is high, is carrying out a control and information campaign covering the period 12-23 June 2023.
In particular, the campaign will cover the following product categories:
- bathing aids,
- water toys,
- floating leisure articles and
- swimming pools for young children.
The aim of the campaign is to ensure that the above products comply with the requirements of the legislation and the applicable safety standards.
This campaign will cover approximately 130 sales outlets nationwide, where on-site inspections will be carried out in order to identify and withdraw dangerous inflatables and other water/water equipment, to take corrective measures for non-compliant products, as well as to inform economic operators.
