Recall Cases of Electronic and Electrical Products in May 2023 (Part 1)
Time：
2023-05-18
The recall case of electronic and electrical products in the EU market in early May 2023 involved issues such as electric shock and excessive levels of harmful substances.
In recent years, countries around the world have established increasingly strict laws, regulations, and enforcement for the safety and environmental protection of electronic and electrical products, and some emerging markets have also moved closer to markets such as Europe and America in corresponding legislation. At the same time, in order to protect the legitimate rights and interests of consumers, countries such as the European Union, the United States, Canada, and Australia have established specialized warning and notification mechanisms.
Consumer product recall "refers to the recall by a manufacturer of defective products that have been delivered to wholesalers, retailers, or end consumers. Recalls are not targeted at individual cases or consumers, but rather at batch product issues caused by manufacturers.
To help enterprises understand the reasons for the recall of electronic and electrical products, this article summarizes 8 cases of recall of electronic and electrical products in the EU market in early May 2023, including heaters, vacuum cleaners, electric barbecue racks, electric cleaning brushes, electric mosquito swatters, straight hair combs, leafless fans, electric heating rice boxes, and other products, involving issues such as electric shock and excessive harmful substances.
01. Heating fan
Notifying country
Germany
Risk details
The product may be heated to the extent of shell deformation, making it easy for live parts to come into contact. Users may touch them and receive electric shock.
This product does not meet the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive or the European standard EN 62335-2.
Measures
Delete this product list from the online market.
02. Portable vacuum cleaner
Notifying country
Sweden
Risk details
Several types of solder in the product have high lead concentrations (measured as high as 62.2% by weight), posing a threat to the environment. The plastic material of the black USB data cable contains excessive concentrations of bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) and dibutyl phthalate (DBP) (measured at 0.59% and 1.12% by weight, respectively). These phthalates may damage the reproductive system and pose a health hazard. The high concentration of short chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs) in plastics (measured at 3.18% by weight) is harmful to human health and the environment. Long term contact with them through the skin may lead to cancer.
This product does not comply with persistent organic pollutant (POP) regulations and does not comply with the requirements of the RoHS 2.0 Directive on Restricting the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment.
Measures
Withdrawal of products from the market.
03. Electric barbecue stove
Notifying country
France
Risk details
The power cord is not fixed because the screws of the anchoring mechanism are not tight enough. Users may experience electric shock.
Product Description: An electric barbecue rack on a detachable bracket, with side trays and trays underneath the barbecue rack. The brackets, trays, and brackets are made of plastic.
Measures
Recall the product from the end user.
04. Electric cleaning brush
Notifying country
Sweden
Risk details
The lead concentration in the solder in the product is too high (measured value: 68% by weight). Lead poses a threat to the environment. The plastic material of this product contains excessive concentrations of bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) and butyl benzyl phthalate (BBP) (measured at 1.26% and 0.11% by weight, respectively). These phthalates may be harmful to children's health and may cause damage to their reproductive system. Plastic materials also contain excessive amounts of short chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs) (measured at 2.4% by weight) that persist in the environment, are toxic to aquatic organisms at low concentrations, and accumulate in wildlife and humans, posing a risk to human health and the environment. Long term contact with them through the skin may lead to cancer.
This product does not meet the requirements of the RoHS 2.0 Directive on Restricting the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment and the Persistent Organic Pollutants (POP) Regulations.
Measures
Delete this product list from the online market.
05. Electric mosquito killer
Notifying country
Sweden
Risk details
The concentration of lead and cadmium in the solder in the product is too high (measured values: up to 73% and 0.1% by weight, respectively). The concentrations of lead, dibutyl phthalate (DBP), di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), and short chain chlorinated paraffin (SCCP) in the cable are too high (measured values: up to 0.24%, 2.03%, 2.5%, and 3.36% by weight, respectively). Lead and cadmium pose a threat to the environment. These phthalates may damage the reproductive system and pose a health hazard. Short chain chlorinated paraffins persist in the environment, are toxic to aquatic organisms at low concentrations, and accumulate in wildlife and humans, posing a risk to human health and the environment. Long term contact with them through the skin may lead to cancer.
This product does not comply with the Persistent Organic Pollutants (POP) regulations, nor does it comply with the requirements of the Committee Directive on Restricting the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment (RoHS 2.0 Directive).
Measures
Withdrawal of products from the market.
06. Electric straight hair comb
Notifying country
Sweden
Risk details
The concentration of short chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs) in black ropes is too high. Short chain chlorinated paraffins persist in the environment, are toxic to aquatic organisms at low concentrations, and accumulate in wildlife and humans, posing a risk to human health and the environment. The black rope also contains excessive concentrations of bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), diisobutyl phthalate (DIBP), and dibutyl phthalate (DBP) (measured as high as 1.5%, 5.4%, 1.2%, and 1.5% by weight, respectively). These phthalates may damage the reproductive system and pose a health hazard. The lead concentration in the solder in the product is too high (measuring up to 57.8% by weight). Lead poses a threat to the environment.
