On January 17, 2014, the European Commission’s non-food rapid warning system issued a consumer warning on Chinese-made “Umbro” brand children’s sweatshirts. The notifying country in this case is Finland. The orange sweatshirt notified this time has a functional rope on the neck; the style/model is UMBADAMJRHOODY, ART.NO.131717,0134, the size is 128cm, the barcode is 6410741518858, and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development Industry Classification Code (OECD Portal Category) is 67000000 (clothing).
Since this sweatshirt has a functional cord at the neck, it poses a risk of suffocation and does not comply with the relevant EU standard EN14682.
At present, the Finnish authorities have banned the sale of this product and related measures; the importer/distributor has taken recall measures for this product.
To this end, it is recommended that relevant domestic production and export enterprises attach great importance to this.
