On February 13, 2015, the European Commission’s Rapid Alert System for Non-Food Products (RAPEX) issued a consumer warning on Chinese-made “DEHA” brand children’s jackets. The notifying country in this case is Slovenia. The children’s jackets reported this time include blue and pink colors with a long drawstring on the hood. The jackets are suitable for children under 6 years old. The item number of the above product is F27594, and the styles/models are blue: 73101 and pink: 273053. The barcodes are 8032548870472 and 8032548870403 respectively. The above products belong to 67000000 (clothing) in the OECD Portal Category.
The above-mentioned children’s jackets may pose a suffocation hazard to children. The long drawstring on the hat can be stretched freely and can easily strangle children’s necks when moving, posing a suffocation hazard. This product does not comply with the relevant European standard EN14682.
At present, importers have taken measures to voluntarily withdraw the above products from the market.
To this end, it is recommended that relevant domestic production and export enterprises attach great importance to this.
