The Ministry of Commerce decided to ban the supply of the 'plush goose' toy and collect it from the market on the grounds that it did not meet the safety criteria and that it broke into small pieces and posed a risk of suffocation.
In the written statement made by the Ministry, "As a result of the examination and laboratory analyzes we carried out as the Ministry of Commerce within the scope of market surveillance and control activities, it has been determined that a toy put on the market as a 'plush goose' does not meet the mechanical safety criteria stipulated in the TS EN 71-1 standard and that it creates a risk of suffocation by breaking into small pieces. Due to this non-conformity, which may pose a serious danger especially for babies and young children, it has been decided to ban the product from the market and recall it from the market, and the product is Unsafe Product Information System." "As the Ministry of Commerce, we do not tolerate any products that threaten the health and safety of our children, and we continue our market surveillance and inspection activities in line with scientific analyzes and laboratory examinations to ensure that our citizens have access to safe products."
