On October 17, 2014, the European Commission’s Rapid Alert System for Non-Food Products (RAPEX) issued a consumer warning on Chinese-made “GRACE” brand children’s trousers. The notifying country in this case is Hungary. The children’s trousers reported this time are made of denim fabric on the front and knitted fabric on the back. The waistband of the trousers has a long independent drawstring. The above pants are printed with the words “CALIFORNIAFAVORITES” and “High-QualityHS” respectively. Pants sizes include 134, 140, 146, 158, and 164. The styles/models of the above pants products are B41046 and B40461; the barcodes are 5999011410463 and 5999011404615. The product’s industry classification code (OECD Portal Category) is 67000000 (clothing).
The above-mentioned children’s trousers can easily bring the risk of injury to children, because the independent drawstring tied around the waist can easily trap the child, causing 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.
