Proposals are being developed for public consultation on the product safety framework, including measures to clarify the roles and responsibilities of online marketplaces, as well as updates to the core framework to better reflect the risk posed by newer products such as e-bikes. The noble Lord, Lord Blencathra, made his case forcefully when moving his amendment. We know that these online marketplaces are primarily responsible for selling products on the marketplace, including e-bike batteries, that do not comply with product safety standards.
