In a recent product safety announcement, the European Union's Rapid Alert System for Non-Food Products (RAPEX) has issued a warning regarding certain eyeglass cases. The concern stems from the discovery of excessive levels of harmful substances in these products, which could pose risks to consumers, especially children.
Tests have revealed that the plastic printing on some eyeglass cases contains high concentrations of phthalates, specifically DEHP and BBP. The combined measurement of these phthalates has reached up to 14.7% in the affected products. Phthalates are known to be potentially harmful to children's health, with possible negative impacts on their reproductive systems.
As a result of these findings, strict measures have been implemented. Any sales of the affected eyeglass cases have been prohibited across the EU. Retailers are required to remove these products from their shelves immediately to prevent further exposure to consumers. This action is part of the EU's ongoing efforts to ensure the safety of consumer goods available in the market.
Consumers are advised to check their eyeglass cases for any signs of the recalled products. If in doubt, they can refer to the RAPEX official website for detailed information on the affected brands and models. The EU's prompt response aims to safeguard public health and maintain high standards of product safety within its member states.
