On October 16, 2015, the European Commission’s Rapid Alert System for Non-Food Products (RAPEX) issued a consumer warning on Chinese-made “VEAVER” brand children’s coats. The notifying country in this case is Hungary. The product notified this time is a hooded children’s jacket with a removable hood and an elastic drawstring at the hood. The children’s coat is available in sizes 86 to 116. . The style/model of the above product is LFY-6032. The barcode is 3002100767323. The OECD Portal Category industry classification code is 67000000 (clothing).
The above-mentioned children’s coats can easily cause suffocation and injury risks to children. The drawstring on the hat can be pulled freely, which can easily strangle children’s necks when moving, posing a suffocation hazard. In addition, the drawstring is also elastic. If a child is stretched hard, it will easily injure his eyes and face when it rebounds, posing a risk of injury. This product does not comply with the relevant European standard EN14682.
At present, the Hungarian authorities have taken compulsory measures to withdraw from the market and recall the above-mentioned products.
To this end, it is recommended that relevant domestic production and export enterprises attach great importance to this. EU issues consumer warning on Chinese-made children’s coats
