Fortunately, the government website Consumption reminder tracks mass retail products that have a manufacturing defect that could endanger the health of consumers. Every week, the platform carries out recall campaigns for food and non-food products – this baby bassinet sold at Auchan has a defect just like this child’s costume – in order to minimize the risk of accidents during consumption or use. of a compromised item.
