UOKiK finds irregularities in goods for children

Trade inspectors have found irregularities in 35 percent of cribs, cradles, playpens and baby carriers for little children. The control was carried out at the request of UOKiK. The inspectors checked 343 product lots and questioned 118. The irregularities include lack of support for the baby's head in carriers, lack of information about the child's acceptable weight or age, too large intervals between strips at the bottom of the bed as well as lack of instructions, warnings or manufacturer's data. Most irregularities related to the marking have already been removed during the inspection, UOKiK stated.
