The Municipal Consumer Information Center (CIAC), in conjunction with the Directorate-General for Consumers (DGC), has issued a warning about a product notified under the Safety Gate system, the EU's rapid alert system for dangerous non-food products.
The product in question is a children's backpack from the Tedi brand. The DGC, serving as the National Contact Point for Safety Gate, receives notifications of dangerous products and forwards them to market surveillance authorities for appropriate action, such as market withdrawal or sales prohibition.
Competent market surveillance authorities in Portugal include the ASAE, ARAE, IRAE, AT, IMT, INFARMED, and the PSP. These bodies are responsible for ensuring that dangerous products are not placed on the national market.
The CIAC urges the public to share this information to raise consumer awareness about the risks associated with this product.
