| 2010-05-14 |
How can you protect your BRAND?
RAPEX Annual Report of the European Commission showed a significant increase in notifications for textiles and clothing during 2009 (compared with 2008).
The product category “Toy” remains the most notified (28%) but this year it is closely followed by “Clothing, Textiles and Fashion items” (23%).
During 2009, 395 out of 1993 NOTIFICATIONS (23%) are related to textile products with particular reference to "drawstrings" and the consequent strangulation hazard and the use of dimethylfumarate (DMF) with chemical risks.
