For the safety of products marketed directly responsible to both the producer (importer) and distributor (vendor). Still, it happens that the market goes unsafe products. This applies to all product groups, the Consumer Electronics onwards, on furniture, food and toys ending. Lack of security may arise not only from improper construction or material used to make the product but also with his faulty labeling, poor instructions or lack thereof, or unfair information provided by the manufacturer / retailer.
The product considered dangerous, can't be sold, but if someone found such a product on the market - must notify the appropriate enforcement authority. Notice is intended to bring about the withdrawal of the product and possibly to determine those responsible. For placing a dangerous product threaten high administrative penalties.
