Belgium’s FOD Economie launches a dangerous product recall lookup platform

Belgium’s FOD Economie has launched an online platform that brings together warnings about recalled dangerous non-food products. Consumers can check in one click whether products in their homes have been recalled, learn about the risks, and find out how to obtain a refund. The platform initially covers categories including toys, electrical appliances, baby products, personal protective equipment, and gas appliances. Warnings include photos, brand, model, batch or serial number, and compensation details. Users can also subscribe to weekly recall emails. The initiative is based on the EU General Product Safety Regulation (EU) 2023/988.
