All goods intended to be used by consumers which
are in the marketplace must be safe in use, and where necessary
accompanied by instructions and warning notices.
Trading Standards is responsible for ensuring that all members of
the community are protected from risk of injury arising from the
supply of unsafe
goods. | |
We do this by:
- Sampling and testing a wide range of consumer goods
- Investigating consumer complaints
- Investigating accidents and injuries caused by consumer
goods
- Prohibiting the supply of goods found to be unsafe
- Advising business on how to comply with the law
- Responding to national alerts
