Weekly Reports RAPEX – Rapid Alert System for dangerous non-food products

The Commission publishes a weekly overview of the alerts reported by the national authorities, which include information on the dangerous products found, the risks identified and the measures taken in the notifying country in order to prevent or restrict their marketing or use. Measures can be ordered by national authorities (“compulsory measures”) or taken directly by economic operators (“voluntary measures”). Each alert also includes information on other countries where the same product has been found and further measures taken.
