Product safety regulations require that all new and used consumer products placed on the UK market must be safe. The responsibility for safety sits with businesses across the supply chain.
Producers and distributors must notify their local authority if they become aware that they have placed on the market, or distributed, an unsafe product. Learn more about your responsibilities at Product safety advice for businesses – GOV.UK. There’s more information about Product Safety Alerts, Reports and Recalls – GOV.UK.
