On August 8, 2014, the European Commission’s Rapid Alert System for Non-Food Products (RAPEX) issued a consumer warning on the Chinese-made “MissAzur” brand girls’ suit. The notifying country in this case is Cyprus. This girl’s suit is suitable for girls under 4 years old and includes a white T-shirt and an orange sundress. The style/model number of this product is AF-370. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development industry classification code (OECD Portal Category) is 67000000 (clothing).
The shoulder straps on the girl’s suit skirt are too long, which may cause strangulation and suffocation risks to children. This product does not comply with the relevant European standard EN14682.
At present, the Cyprus authorities have taken compulsory measures to withdraw this product from the market.
To this end, it is recommended that relevant domestic production and export enterprises attach great importance to this.
