On February 27, 2009, the European Commission’s Rapid Alert System for Non-Food Products (RAPEX) issued a consumer warning on Chinese-made “BGC Ltd” brand Christmas hats. The notifying country in this case is the United Kingdom. The product involved in this notification is a glittering Christmas hat, the product model is JY1320A, and the barcode number is 5055026012839. The item is a red and white corduroy Christmas hat decorated with glitter stars and comes with a battery compartment, but no product description or safety tips.
Since the open wires inside this product are entangled with each other, it is very likely to cause a short circuit, which will cause the circuit to heat up quickly, ignite the fabric, and cause a fire. This product does not comply with the EU Low Voltage Electrical Equipment Directive and related standards EN60335.
At present, the importer has taken the initiative to withdraw the product from the market and recall the sold products.
To this end, it is recommended that relevant domestic production and export enterprises attach great importance to this.
