Which? response to the government's Product Safety Review announcement

Sue Davies, Which? Head of Consumer Protection Policy, said:

"Which? investigations have consistently uncovered dangerous products being sold on popular online marketplaces, yet the government and OPSS have only produced dither and delay when what is needed is urgent action to bring online shopping safety protections up to date.

"It's completely unacceptable for the government to keep kicking the can down the road when dangerous items are ending up in people's homes every day. While promoting UK business is important, to fix the UK's product safety system the government must quickly establish new regulations that put consumer safety first and enable tough enforcement action against online marketplaces and other businesses that break the rules."
