Christmas Eve is approaching – and with it the most wonderful time of the year for our little ones. But this year, saving is the order of the day for many families. Even with the presents under the Christmas tree.
Especially in the Advent season, seizures in the case of product piracy increase at customs in the field of consumer protection. A particular problem is cheap toy copies. In a review of alerts, the EU concluded that 80% of goods reported as dangerous or counterfeit in the Union were intended for children. In addition to toys, care products and clothing.
Luring fake shops with offers
Caution is especially important when shopping online. More and more fake shops lure with unsafe plagiarism at extremely low prices. “If you think you are buying a bargain online, remember that the item can only be offered so cheaply because it is fake and does not meet the required quality and safety standards,” warns Finance Minister Brunner.
