Product Regulation and Metrology Bill [HL]Contribution
The Office for Product Safety and Standards—OPSS—conducted research in 2021 that found that 81% of the products tested from online marketplaces failed safety tests. I emphasise that 81% of products failed safety tests. In the meantime, online marketplaces have continued to expand rapidly since 2021, in number and popularity, while UK legislation has stood still. This has created a dangerous blind spot that allows unsafe products to flood in.
