Recall

Since March 2024, unscheduled inspections of non-food products have been resumed. This means that the State Service of Ukraine on Food Safety and Consumer Protection may inspect the characteristics of products from distributors and manufacturers of such products based on requests containing information about the distribution of products that have defects or threaten human life and health.

In September 2024, scheduled inspections of certain types of non-food products that could be potentially hazardous to consumers were resumed, namely toys; space heaters and combined heaters; electrical and electronic equipment.
